Video translation magic

[Jeff Macdonald]

1) I have them converted for my TiVo

ffmpeg -i Dr.Who.\(2005\)1×01.Rose.WS.\(X\)SVCD.mpeg -target ntsc-dvd
-r 29.97 -aspect 4:3 Dr.Who.\(2005\)1×01.Rose.WS.DVD.mpeg

2) Those episodes will be on SciFi very soon

I find it very interesting that for #1 my notes have exactly what you
are trying to accomplish! :-)
