Y'all are going to make me spend the day reading up on the portable document format.Me too. I realize that I can bend them to my will but I don't know exactly how they work. Must remedy.
Bunnies frighten me.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
I split my cable so one fork goes to the TiVo (analog channels only), which I have plugged into one of my video inputs on my TV, and the other goes to the digital cable box. I don't have it the other way around where the TiVo controls the cable box via IR to get the extra channels since I mainly watch the NHL Center Ice package on digital and with the exception of a few channels like BBC America, 99% of the shows I'd want to record can be found on analog.
BTW, -t, if you get the TiVo and no one has already claimed the referral, I'd be very interested in earning the referral points when you set it up. (Pretty please?) I need one more referral to have enough points for an iPod Shuffle. My rewards email is temporarily tacked onto the description in my profile just in case.

does anyone out there know what/how I can burn downloaded iTunes videos to a DVD?

I'm not sure you'd want to -- the image quality would be almost unwatchable on a TV screen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the quality like if you hook the iPod itself up to a TV?

Jessica, I had heard that, but it looks really good on our huge TV. We've been playing it on the Powerbook and hooking that up via S-video. It works okay, but it's a lot of cables.
No iPod video here so we haven't tried ita's suggestion.

I don't have a video iPod, but the size of the clips is just barely a quarter of broadcast resolution.
[eta: Huh. That must be one hell of a codec they're using, then.]

Yeah, we tried it because we were dying to see BSG before it begins again and we were pleasantly surprised.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The screen size of a video iPod is 320x240, more or less the quality of VHS.

HiddenSky, I used your comcast address as my referrer. I hope that was right.
