What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.
I have seen this feature included in other TiVo downloading software (for PC).  It is a nice feature 
to speed up the process of downloading and converting multiple shows.

Moving this to 'enhancement'.
   This would be a nice feature, but the code I inherited really isn't designed to be
multi-threaded, so this feature will probably not happen until a complete re-write. 
Sorry  :(

This request seems to beased on a mis-conception about the operation of iTiVo.  
Other TiVo content transfer programs, like TiVibutler and SeasonPassManager, pull 
the program down and THEN covnert to mp4.  iTiVo converts the stream as it is being 
pulled off the TiVo. So this doesn't really apply.

Now the ability to open more than one thread to get more than one program at a time 
(not sure the TiVo supports that, but I think I saw a Windows program that does it) 
OR (for those of us with more than one TiVo) pull a show from each TiVo at the same 
time.

Marking as 'wontfix'.  As was mentioned earlier, unless you actively tell it not to
(or ask for commercial cuts), it will download AND encode at the same time.  Getting
it to do the steps seperately AND have multiple threads for multiple
downloads/encodes would basically be a re-write of the code, and is not planned.
