Yes, mpeg-2 would be lower quality than the original AVCHD files, but Tivo doesn't speak AVCHD, so I don't think there's a way around that. As for the rest of your description, this is definitely different from how it was set up last time I used it (there was no StreamBaby then). I can only su

Hi Scot, I did a little more reading about PyTivoX. The web pages mentioned "pushing" and "pulling" files. I assume that "pushing" means that I would initiate a mac-to-tivo transfer from the mac and that "pulling" means that I would initiate a mac-to-tivo transfer from the tivo. Is that corr

The Tivo wants mpeg-2. It can handle a live mpeg stream coming from any Mac on your local network. Best way to set this up is with PyTivoX http://code.google.com/p/pytivox/ - point it at a folder on the Mac and it will make any video in that folder available to the Tivo, transcoding it in real

Hi, I just bought a new HD camcorder that records in the AVCHD format. If I connect my camcorder directly to my HDTV, the picture looks great, but I would rather not always be connecting my camcorder to my TV. Also, my camcorder obviously has a limited amount of built-in memory, so eventually
