Apple Convert2Tivo (video to TY conversion) application support

[jelwell]

This is a placeholder for support of a Mac application I wrote. Granted I'm not likely to respond to support requests, but maybe someone else will. ;)

Convert2TiVo is application droplet. Drop any video onto the application and it will be converted into TiVo Series 1 TY format.

Features:
Will pad top and bottom with horizontal bars to fit into 640x480 aspect without cropping/stretching.
Uses ffmpeg (no modifications) so can be updated, easily, to support new codecs as ffmpeg releases new versions.
See readme.txt in the bundle for information about the source.

Bugs:
No Progress Feedback.
No way to cancel (have to quit app then force quit ffmpeg)

Proposed Features:
Combine videos.

I have been out of the TiVo development loop that I have no idea if there is already a simple tool that does this. ;)

I should probably point out that my tool includes a PowerPC Mac mplex tool that supports TY format.

Just use "-f 10" to select TY, I'd suggest also using "-r 3000".

My Mistake, I never got around to compiling a Universal mplex, it is PowerPC. However, the mplex is the quickest part, so it's not a big deal that's it running in an emulator.

Thank you.
