Brilliant Idea!!! DV avi to mpeg2 in real time!!!

[alexcomp]

I may be off base here but I think this will work...

Transfer 8mm analog or digital tape to disk using firewire and Adobe Premiere or whatever..

Play the digital avi into my Tivo through composite video/audio output.

Voila! I have acceptable quality mpeg movies playable on my television and did it real time, not seven hours on an asskickin, (in other respects), athlon 1400 with 768mb ddr.

With a network card on my tivo, I could bring the movies back to my network computer and probably I can cut out the middleman and play my camcorder directly into the tivo if I don't want to edit the file.

Where am I wrong here, if I am wrong?

Don't know much about TIVO, but give it a go, if it works then make a guide
