At the end of your guide you mention: "What if I still can't get anything in sync no matter what?" Do you sometimes experience audio sync problems with the MPEG-VCR software when cutting out the commercials? How often does this problem happen? Don't most newer DVD Authoring programs have bundled MPEG2 editors included. Most of these newer ones are GOP editors as well so they do not reencode. Have you tried the MPEG2 editors in TMPG DVDAuthor, Nero 6, or Ulead? Can others comment if they use other apps to edit the MPEG2 of TIVO - I ask because I do not own MPEG-VCR.
