[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed]

Hi

I successfully installed and started using pyTivo. Everything shows up and transfers fine, except that I'm getting popping and scratching noises throught the length of the video when I play it on Tivo.

As far as I can tell, this is only an issue with the .wmv files and not the other file types.

Any ideas?

Pushed or pulled?

[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed]

transfered to the tivo by using the tranfer recording feature of the tivo. (is that pulled?)

I should also mention that I am using Windows 7, tivo series 3 a usb wireless connection and a tivo expander hard drive.

Just now tried with push also.

looks like I'm getting the same problem both ways

I copied the technical specs from the file, as seen through the eyes of Tivo - in the folder as part of the menu of files that may be pulled.

TRANSCODE = YES, vCodec wmv3 not compatible, SOURCE INFO:, vWidth=960,vHeight=540, vFps=29.97, vCodec = wmv3, rawmeta = {}, par2 = 1.0, par1 = 1:1, par = none, millisecs 3140090, mapvideo = 0.1, 128 kb/s\r')], kbps = 128, aFreq = 44100, aCodec = wmav2, aCh = 2, Supported = True, TRANSCODE OPTIONS:,,, -b 16384k, ,- acodec ac3 -copyts, -bufsize 496k, ab 448k, -maxrate 30000k, -ar44100, -f vob-,,, -vcodec mpeg2video, , SOURCFILE:,

Does this tell you anything about how I might set the configuration to eliminate the popping/crakling/echo ?

thx

I doubt that any settings can help you. You could try a different version of ffmpeg.
