Ugh, doing it your tedious way -- how quaint.

Here's how I do it:

1. Capture the A/V stream to DV AVI with a Canopus ADVC-100.
2. Import the stream into a non-linear editor.
3. Snip out the commercials.
4. Edit in title screen/intro/outros.
5. Render video to VCD/SVCD/DVD-compliant MPEG-2.
6. Render audio to MPEG-2/Dolby Digital audio.
7. Import/Author [5] and [6] with a VCD/SVCD/DVD-authoring program.
8. Burn to DVD-R.

Using a VCR instead of DVD is like using a VCR instead of a TiVo.

Sounds *way way way* more complex than just using an existing recorder with
editing capabilities, e.g. DMR-E80. If you're recording from analog cable
you can just use its internal tuner (thus obviously bypassing Tivo at at all
in this discussion). Otherwise, record onto the machine from Tivo, edit on the
machine, and dub to DVD-R.

In fact, I've taken nearly all my old VHS tapes, converted them to DVD-R

If you care about wastefulness, I hope you recycled the tapes (if that's
even possible.. I'll eventually have many tens of videotapes left over..
Hopefully I'll find a way to recycle them.)

I think he means to pause commercials when transfering TIVO program to
a VCR. I believe early on in the beginning of TIVO this was possible,
but for some reason they changed it

If that's what he is asking, sure it's possible. Just pause the
recording on the VCR when the commercials come on.

That sounds like a good idea. As soon as I figure it out I am
definetly going to try it.

I was at frys electronics.
This other customer had 2, wd hd 250gbs.

I could not see an application for this much storage capacity.

He is using his tvio for his stuff.
Modding it for these bigger hds.
He explained to me, its faster, reliable, etc.

I was buying a bunch of stuff, and was lucky to get some advise, cause he
was checking out too.

So much to buy, so little time.
