“What is the best/easiest way to convert my Tivo television programs to mp4 format for using in a Windows Media Player so I could send them to my daughter, who does not have a television? I figure a conversion is needed. I tried WMP to add a .tivo file without luck (don’t know how to set up specs).”
We all know the television programs can be recorded into TiVo format and you can transfer recorded TV shows from your TiVo media device to PC for watching via TiVo Desktop Plus by opening Now Playing list and clicking on the “TiVo Recordings” button to choose the one for playing, but the fact is that video in .tivo format is not ideal for playback on Windows Media Player.
