[maemo-users] Playing MPEG-2 or .tivo files on N800 OS2008

[From: Russ Wenner]

SOLVED.

I was able to convert .TiVo files to .mpg (MPEG2) for play on mplayer
by following the instructions here http://www.apecity.com/tivo/

This converted .TiVo files from my Series 2 Tivo --> XP Pro SP2 -->
N800 with mplayer

Thank you for all the suggestions.

As it relies upon mplayer and mencoder, assuming you have the necessary codecs, you can probably convert those files to something mplayer on your tablet can play.
