Video Streaming Server

What I'm looking to do is transfer recordings from my TivoHD to a streaming server so that I can watch videos on my iPhone organized by directories.

I have been using Roxio's Streamer with great success except:
  • I cannot organize the videos into directories
  • it's sometimes buggy and doesn't let me stream certain videos (it's happened twice)
  • I keep getting an incorrect dialog box asking me if I really want to open an application downloaded by MS Entourage
I have a version of the Apple Darwin Streaming Server and that's been running well except:
  • I cannot convert .tivo video files on my mac into a streaming format
  • I cannot create iPhone streaming formats yet, it doesn't look easy
  • I can only convert programs if they are still on my TiVo
I'm really looking for the best of both worlds:
  • the easy of Roxio's Streamer
  • viewing on an iPhone
  • folder organization
  • and being able to work with .tivo files I've moved to my Mac
Google Search: "mac .tivo transcoding"
