Convert TiVo files to MPEG format without quality loss


If you are  TiVo DVR user, and wanna make full use of your TiVo file like watch them on PC,  iPod, iPhone etc, this guide is written for you. In the following paragraphs  you will learn how to transfer TiVo file to PC, restore the protected TiVo show  to MPEG file, and convert TiVo file to fit for your portable players. A  step-by-step guide is displayed below:

Step One. Transfer recorded TV shows to your PC.

In the first place, you got to transfer shows from your TiVo DVR to your PC.  TiVo Desktop software for the PC is required, and you can access the  instructions on how  to transfer TiVo file to PC from their website.

Step Two. Run Pavtube Video  Converter and load TiVo files.

Pavtube offers free trial version of Video Converter for you to evaluate the  software. So just go ahead, download and install Pavtube Video Converter and  try it out! Launch the utility and here pops up an intuitive interface. Click  ”Add” to load recorded TV shows, or you just drag the files in.

Step Three. Set output format and audio/video settings.

Click on “Format” bar and follow either Copy> Directly Copy or Common  Video> MPEG-1/ MPEG-2/ MPEG-4. If you select Directly Copy, the converter  will remove the protection by TiVo and restore the files to MPEG file (*.mpg)  without any quality loss. As en-decoding progress is left out, the conversion  speed will be much faster than the later. The converter will generate files  right what they used to be before they were made into TiVo files (an inverse  progress of encryption). If you select Common Video> MPEG, you will be able  to customize video and audio parameter to be compatible your portable player.  You can adjust the video codec, resolution, bit rate, frame rate, audio codec,  sampling rate etc by clicking “Settings” to enter the panel. Next you specify  location for generated files in “Output” box. After conversion you may click  ”Open” button to find the converted MPEG files.

Step Four.  Convert TiVo shows to MPEG files.

Now Click "Convert" button and wait. The conversion window will show  you all the info such as conversion progress, conversion state, elapsed  and estimated conversion time, and generated and estimated conversion  file size. You may check "Shut down computer after conversion"  and leave it be.

Tip:

If you have some TiVo files from your friends but  you’re not a TiVo user yourself. The app will remind you to put in the key when  loading TiVo files. Type in your friend’s code and you will be able to convert  them.
