How to Burn TiVo Shows and Movies to DVD?
TiVo is a brand and model of digital video recorder which works just like any other digital recorder. What distinguishes TiVo from other DVRs is the sophisticated software written by TiVo Inc. that automatically records programs—not only those the user specifically requests, but also other material the user is likely to be interested in. It also allows the viewer to pause live television, and rewind and replay up to a half hour of recently viewed television. It has the capability to transfer the recordings to your computer by using the TiVo Desktop Software.
An issue with the files is that they are not always compatible with other multi-media programs you may want to view TiVo files. As a result, it is required to convert the TiVo files to MPEG format for viewing on most computers. Well, lots of users would then edit out the commercials with software and copy TiVo shows to a DVD disc. Well, how to convert and burn TiVo to DVD seems to be a problem since most DVD burner software will not recognize .TiVo file.
