I am using Toast to transfer HD football games to an external hard drive from my Tivo and it's working well.  It's just that when I go to play the football game off my external hard drive,  (connected to a Mac-Mini) I do not have the ability to watch a play in slow-motion.  For football fans (and many other sports fans) that ability is quite important so that I can see the blocks form, or in basketball the play/screens develop.  For baseball fans....to watch the pitches in slow-motion adds quite another entertainment element.

The potential among sports fans like I who are techno-impaired is huge....like tens of millions of us.  Does anyone at Roxio know if/when slow motion is going to be added for HD recordings?

Thank you,

Are you wanting slow motion playback to be added to the Toast Video Player? Is that how you're watching the video?

I must admit that I don't know the name of the TOAST 10 Titanium module that I'm using to watch the video; I go to a icon on task bar at the bottom which is TiVo transfer, a window pops up and then I have options on the left to scroll to.  I can view the programs saved on my Tivo, or scroll up and choose to transfer shows.  A window pops up with all the shows in the TiVo saved and I highlight the one for transfer.

After transfer....there is another option on the left of that window which shows the programs transferred and held in my external hard drive.  (a devise called a Drobo...and it's kind of cool)  When I click on "play" in that window....it does begin playing on a Roxio application of some type.  Perhaps this is the video that you're referring to.

BTW.....I am writing this from my office behind the Valley River Center--behind Marie Callendars in Eugene.  I'm blowing time until an hour after the Oregon game begins so that I can go home and begin watching the recording from the beginning and zip through the commercials.  I just got a home "media center" this last summer in time for football season along with a TiVo and some other cool audio-visual devises, and I'm still learning.  It has been much harder and more complex that I would have thought and part of the problem has been equipment or software that did not work as advertised and had to be sent back or removed.

I appreciate your help and would hope that Roxio is going to add slow-motion for HD recordings.  Think that will happen?

Stanford's offense was amazingly sharp yesterday. I once remember  former Oregon coach Jerry Frei saying after an upset loss to San Jose State "How can you score over 40 points and lose?" This is how. Now we need Arizona to lose.

The Toast Video Player is an application developed by El Gato (the company that sells EyeTV). They would need to add this capability and I don't know if that is in their plans. You might post in Roxio's TiVo Transfer, Mac2TiVo, and TiVoToGo forum to ask other TiVo users if there is any other players that have a slow motion feature.
