Anyone with a media center computer interested in getting their ms-dvr files onto their PPC, should look into a program called My TV ToGo. It is available on Handango for 19.95. A trial is available, but will only convert a few minutes of a clip.
The program has an interface similar to the media center, and converts ms-dvr files into smaller device friendly wmv files for viewing on a PPC. The conversion process takes about the same amount of time to convert as the original program, and is somewhat memory intensive. Although I was able to use Pocket DVD studio and My Tv ToGo at the same time using a P4ht 3.0ghz media center PC w/ 1 gig of ram.
I really enjoy the program, and have used it quite successfully to convert entire seasons of programming to take with me on my PPC.
One additional comment, when I originally purchased the program, Ihad some trouble getting it to convert. (something to do with a codec I downloaded somewhere for something else and could not get rid of until I reformatted the computer) and wrote to them for support. They replied within hours (on a Saturday) and had me up and running in no time. |
