I have a Series 2 TiVo FWIW.

MPEG chopping has issues with sound syncing.

I purchased a copy of VideoReDo for Windows (ugh, $30) that will cleanly
chop MPEG files.  In addition it can convert .TiVo to MPEG and identify and
strip commercials.

I think the trial version might work for you 1 time.  But it is windows :-(

I've heard of gopchop also.

FWIW, I've used kmttg to pull, tivoconvert and generate metadata.  VideoReDo
to strip commercials (& generate metadata).  Then pyTiVo to publish the .mpg
files back to the TiVo.
