Convert Shows Recorded on TiVo to DVD

Posted at 19:35, 12/06/2008 by LoriDeschene

TiVo can be the best friend you ever had. It always does what you tell it to do. It understands the bond you share with your TV. But unfortunately, it doesn’t always have the best memory. If your drive tends to fill up before you get a chance to watch everything, here’s what you need to do, according to Satellite Sweeper:

Download Direct Show Dump (DSD) and install it. Be sure to download version 0.1.1029.0 or newer. The tool will convert your TiVo recordings to unencrypted MPEG2 format. For more detailed instructions, read “Tin Man’s” instruction page.
