I have two questions related to Tivo Desktop and a little bit to Galleon as well.
I purchased the Plus copy and I'm very happy with it, but I am confused about what it will and won't convert to the Tivo file format. Does is depend on what codec I have installed? Frankly, I forgot how I set it up, but is it possible to install more codecs so Tivo desktop will covert more file formats during the transfer to the Tivo box? Right now the only formats that I see being converted are AVI's and WMV's. But it's not converting formats like MP4, MOV, FLV, and I'm sure lots of others...
My other question relates to downloading content. Other than Galleon, does anyone know a way to automatically download VBlogs (something I discovered using Galleon but never totally understood and still can't get Galleon's streaming to work) so I can then use a batch file or something to move those videos into my Tivo Desktop folder (of course ultimately YouTube integration would be nice too but I'm not getting my hopes up on that one)? Galleon just seems a little unwieldy but maybe it's just me being unable to comprehend it.
Thanks in advance.
