Best method for series 2 extraction?

[Buckeyes1995]

I know this has been covered in one form or another many times, but its pretty spread out.

I use tytools to edit, vob, and ifo/bup. Then burn. On a lot of shows the DVD dies in the middle.. is there any tried and true method I can use? Im far from a video expert, so any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

This is how I personally do it. Your mileage may vary....

I use TyTool on my Series 2 Stand Alone. I do this using MuscleNerd's tyserver binary he posted. You can find it TivoBell's post in this forum I believe.

I nab the .ty file, make the key files, edit the key files, multiplex the file.

I then use TMPGEnc and Re-encode it to SVCD until I have enough episodes of said show to burn to DVD.

When I have 4 hour shows, or 8 half hour shows I use TMPGEnc again and re-encode to DVD format with a constant bit rate of 3000.

I then use the TMPGEnc DVD Author to burn to DVD.
