Converting TiVo files to DVD/MPEG or similar

I've actually found TyStudio to be a much better system. It supports transcoding of .ty to .mpeg.

The TyStudio client is not compatible with the normal TyServer, it needs its own special one, however if you download a .ty file using TyTool you can then load it into TyStudio. If you don't want to uninstall the server and then reinstall the TyStudio server, then you can quite safely do this.

I'll second that. TyStudio is easy to use and converts on the fly. You can also edit out the adds and the start/finish stuff as well. Saves it as an MPG and I copy these to my MythTV box.

Thanks very much for the responses. I have downloaded tystudio and am playing with it. However cannot connect to tivo now showing and download using the tools.

Reading the tyserver the notes on the web site the instructions say to run "./tyserver" - as I am still a novice with all this, would someone be able to quickly explain what this is. Tnhanks Michael
