What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select a show to export.
2. Select "convert for iphone/ipod, med res".
3. Begin download

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect a file with the "mp4" extension, but the output file has not
extension at all.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2.1 on OSX 1.5

I thought that bug was squashed.  Damn...

I'm failing to reproduce this bug, so let me ask some questions:

  1) Does this happen for ALL shows you try to download?
  2) Does the show have both a show name and an episode title?
  3) I assume that's OSX 10.5.5 ?  IS it on intel or PowerPC?
  4) What other options do you have set?  (growl, itunes, sync, download location)?
  5) If you manually change the resulting filename to include the .mp4 at the end,
does it work fine?
  5) Do you know what filesystem is the download location using?

Any other info that might help me reproduce the problem will be appreciated.  I'm at
a loss right now, the code clearly puts an extension on all files as far as I can tell.

1. Only tried two shows (House and Heroes) and it did this.
2. Yes, has both.
3. 10.5.5, Intel iMac
4. iTunes import, download location
5. Yes, adding ".mp4" makes it playable.
6. MacOS Journalled external USB drive.

I tweaked the download3.pl file to get the encoding I liked, so I just hardcoded the
mp4 in there and it worked fine for me.  Seems like it's just a missing arg to the
external script.

Based on the other bug (you're having 1 hours shows encoded as movies).  I think
something 'strange' is going on.  Is the program not passing ".mp4" as the last
argument to download3.pl ?

  If you wouldn't mind, can I get you to install the attached file (it's the current
code with debug flag on) and run it?  You should find a log file in ~/iTiVo.log.. can
you mail it to me?  (your MAK will be in there in lots of places, if you're concerned
feel free to replace it with something else)...  OR just look at the output in there
maybe there is something useful.  I can't figure out why it wouldn't include the .mp4
argument (unless a previous argument is empty and shell parsing is breaking it).

Going to presume that it works for now since I've heard nothing else...
  will mark bug as 'fixed'

I have been seeing the same problem here as well. All files are plain text with no
extensions.
