Divx & Tivo On Emc 8

[satkinsn]

Hi -

 

I'm hoping someone can answer a couple of simple EMC 8-related questions.

 

(FWIW-I did forum and support searches, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.)

 

Question 1: Does EMC 8 include all the functionality of the stand-alone DiVX converter/encoder?

 

Question 2: Is anybody successfully, routinely and without problems able to use the included TiVo software to burn dvds? (My s2 TiVo is fully networked, with Desktop 2.2 on the PC end.)

 

Thanks,

I don't have a Tivo, but I can answer #1. Several applications in EMC8 can convert video files to DivX. However, if you are trying to create a DivX DVD with menus, that is not possible. I know that DivX 6 supports menus, but I don't know of any software on the market that supports the menu features.

Thanks very much.

 

Roxio says, in its web info, that EMC 8 can "Create DivX 6 movies with fully navigable menus." Any idea what that refers to?

I believe that is referring to the Video Compilation area of Disc Copier. It looks like in there you can burn a DivX dvd and have it create menus. You should explore that app & it's help files to see if that's what you are looking to do.
