RE: DVAClient now called "ReplaySix"

Hi Philip,

Enjoying your program immensely. Can you tell me where to look for the
"Media Type" selection in order to change it the way you prescribe. I can't
find it on the DVArchive console.  Thanks.

Jeff

I've put a new 0.5 release of the ReplaySix application up on my web page.

http://www.geocities.com/flipflop7146/roku.html

This one implements Kevin's suggestion where the A/V reinterleave is
disabled
if you set the "Media Type" in DVArchive to "Other non-replaytv".  This
makes
ReplaySix a possible solution for selecting/streaming extracted DVDs.  

Also, when used through DVArchive streaming you don't have the 2GB file size
limit that roku has in its smbfs support, so you can combine all .vob files
into a single large .mpg file, and then stream the single file.

This release also somewhat improves the quick-skip and instant-replay and
lip
sync.
