Lots of people have been looking around for information on how to burn tivo files generated by a TiVo DVR to a DVD disc, so as to watch them on a PC or their widescreen TV via a DVD player, as well as a Blu-ray player. To give a solution to this universal problem to full extent, my post will focus on this point, and present you the method of how to author tivo files to DVD. If it is what you are looking for, just take it easy to go through with it.
What you will need:
1. TiVo Desktop
2. A video converter that can support tivo files, here I choose Pavtube Video Converter
3. A DVD burner, like ImgBurn, Nero Express, etc.
At first, you should transfer your recorded files which you want to burn to DVD from your TiVo box to your personal PC via TiVo Desktop, that is "Pick Recordings to Transfer". Then do as the following instruction shown:
1. Run Pavtube Video Converter and add tivo files to it
Once you run it, the following wine red interface will appear, and you can click on "Add" button to load tivo files into it.
2. Select DVD format as output format, and set save path
As long as tivo files are imported, you should click the pull down menu of "Format" to select a VOB format for DVD burning. Here I choose DVD-Video Format – NTSC (*.vob) for instance. Notice that NTSC is a video format used in North America, Central America, Japan, and parts of South America; PAL is the video format used in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, most of Asia, and parts of South America; SECAM is used in Africa, Asia, Pacific Islands, Former USSR, and Americas. You should select one according to your geographical regions.
At the same time, you can click the folder icon at the end of "Output" to specify where to locate the output VOB files. Additionally, if you want to combine all the tivo files you loaded to be as a single file, you can tick the checkbox "Merge into one file".
3. Set advanced settings
If you’d like to adjust the video and audio parameters of your tivo files before conversion, you can press "Settings" button to enter the interface as below, on which you are permitted to adjust aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc.
4. Start conversion
As soon as the above steps are finished, you can click "Convert" button to begin converting tivo files to VOB, which is the source file that can be burn to a DVD disc directly. Once conversion is done, you are able to find out the output VOB files via clicking on "Open" button.
After finished, what you should do next is just inserting a blank DVD to the DVD drive of your PC, and then use no matter ImgBurn, Nero Express or whatever to author the generated vob files to DVD. Then a new DVD that is originated from your tivo files is belonging to you right now.
