The .net ones were just temporary. I took them down when I got the main server back up and running.

if you need to activate go to http://videoredo.com/activate instead.
Got you, my bad, thank you for your efforts.
Do you have a PayPal account or similar?
I’m happy to send you a tip for your work.
Honestly, it would be my pleasure. I’m very grateful for your efforts, and am now more confident that I’ll be able to reactivate the program when the time comes, hopefully later this year, when I get a new workstation PC :)

EDIT. By the way, while I’m here, I’d just like to say that one thing that I REALLY love about VideoRedo is that when I edit video recorded from DVB-S, and then save back out as .ts, not only does VideoRedo leave the video as is (Instead of reencoding the entire thing) but it also retains not only the DVB subtitles, but also the text subtitles that are included with DVB-S transmissions.
So I can edit a recording, to the frame…. Eliminate any extra at the start and end of the programme, cut out any commercials if there are any, save without losing any image/audio quality, AND retain all the subtitles AND the subs remain in sync despite all my edits.
I just LOVE it. Then I can use a subtitle extractor to extract the text subs, and/or use something like MKVToolNix to end up with an MKV file, with original broadcast quality, and perfect subs.
On top of that, if I record something for my elderly parents who don‘t have internet, nor any kind of media player box (and who aren’t willing to even try to play files from a USB disk on their TV/bluray player) then I can use VideoRedo to save the edited programme as an authored DVD, and burn to a DVD/RW so they can watch it too. All from this one programme.
Of course it does more than this, including I’ve used it to edit all my old MiniDV home videos, and VHS rips without any loss of quality…. I just wanted to say thank you. I’d be lost without it. Been using it since V3 with my old Topfield TF5800 box. These days I have a Dreambox with DVB-S and DVB-T tuners, and a Pi with a USB DVB-S/DVB-T tuner, and TvHeadend…. And everything gets run through VideoRedo.
Thank you.

If anyone is still monitoring this thread, I'm getting an error when I try to save a video.

They are TiVo files VRD TVSuite 6.

Error says"Output Stream Error: Output byte unaligned.

Any ideas as to what is wrong, how to fix?

The attached logfile is a .rar file made with winrar, rename as *.rar and you can read it it may be readable win win zip as a zip file.

Hi there Jim,
This isn't the correct thread to be asking this question. This thread deals/dealt with issues activating VideoRedo because of a problem with the license server. What you're describing is a very different issue.

Looks like there is a error in the file. Try running it through QuickStream Fix first, then editing the fixed fix. That will probably fix the issue.

What did you use to download that from the TiVo?

File is unable to open or may be there is an error in thread as it is not supporting this file at the moment. I am also unable to save any video.

Can you also find a way to link the final stable build (VRDTVS-6-63-7-836.exe ?) so it can be downloaded?
That is a little more problematic as it's copyrighted. I'm already wading into a legal grey area, I don’t want to push it and get sued.

But if the site does go down all contact his widow and ask permission. If she says yes then I will.

Looking at the code it looks like it might automatically call home after 1 year even if you turn off the automatic updates. However in another thread someone tried blocking the connection to videoredo.com and it appears that it falls back to a state where it continues working if the server is completely offline.

Unfortunately that portion of the code is really complex. Dan purposefully made it as obscure as possible to try and thwart hackers. So it's really hard to read. And I never worked on that part when I was working here so I don't really understand what it does.
