I searched and came up with 36 pages of hits on this. After wading through the first four pages, I failed to see anything relevant.

So forgive me if this is a common question....

I have a mac and have recently enabled TivoGoBack on it. I've been pulling some old TV series off of DVD for my iPod, and I was struck by the thought of...

"If I set this up right, I can watch these through the Tivo, too!"

But what's the proper file format? I'm proficient with ffmpeg and have Toast, so file conversion isn't an issue.

The MPEG-4's that I've ripped for the iPod don't show up...

Do they have to be MPEG-2's? What's the right format for these?

Thanks,
