I have Mac2Tivo app running, and I can put video files on Tivo. Tivo supposedly supports avi and various other encoding, but half the time video's don't play. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with encoding options. So the question is, what is a good Handbrake preset to use for viewing stuff on Tivo?
