The Tivo transfer works, but the result isn’t optimal. I’m hopeful that using the resources available to them, Roxio and TiVo will provide later versions of TiVo Transfer with a feature set that is complete and more innovative. It has stiff competition from open-source programmers whose applications already provide Mac users with more functionality than this 1.0 version. The TiVo Transfer app included with Toast 8 Titanium is a great step-forward for Mac users who want the TiVoToGo functionality that PC users have had for some time. An in-app online scheduling interface would have been nice as well. TiVo Transfer is only a one-way transfer app, from TiVo to Mac too bad the app can’t push videos from Mac to TiVo. Toast 8 Titanium, in TiVo’s name, limits the resolution size of the video when exporting. Instead of doing the transcoding during the transfer like TiVoDecode Manager, at least two more user-activated steps are required just to get the show into your iTunes library. First off, shows transfer to your Mac in about real-time, so if a show is one hour, it takes about that long to download-no watching the show before it’s complete. However, there are a number of features missing and / or limited, that I think an app like this should offer. Along with the points noted above, that’s about all TiVo Transfer does on its own. It shows the details of each show, just like your TiVo-episode description, channel, duration, and time recorded. It uses the same icons your TiVo does, to display the shows that are newly recorded, ones that TiVo recorded based on your individual preferences, ones that are currently being recorded, and those in danger of being deleted. ![]() Like the great iLife applications, it seamlessly and without user intervention, uses Bonjour to discover all the TiVos on your network. The TiVo Transfer app works really well and is nice to look at. It should also be noted here that the maximum resolution TiVo will allow the video to transcode to is 320×240. Perhaps the developers were thinking because of the time it takes download the file alone, some users might not want want to wait longer to encode the file, so they kept the file transfer and the encoding processes separate. From there, you can export the video to convert the shows into the appropriate file type for iPod, iTunes, PSP, etc. To get these shows into your iTunes library, playback on your iPod, or playback on external media like a DVD, you’ll need to click on the “Toast It” button from your Tivo Recordings Library and Toast 8 will launch. I tried playing the files back in VLC, iTunes, and QuickTime, but the only app they’d play back in was the Toast Video Player. tivo video files are MPEG-2 files, with a reported 480×480 resolution. In this application, if you poke around a bit, you’ll find that the saved. It works well, and fast-forwards and rewinds quickly. The player works nicely, with a window playing the requested show and a virtual remote control. In all, Roxio Toast Titanium is a complete utility for working with optical disk formats, whether you're burning, recovering or backing-up data.After downloading a show, double clicking on it from the Library pops up a rebadged and specialized version of the Elgato EyeTV player, dubbed the Toast Video Player. Though not 100% effective, the program works hard to rescue as much data as possible, meaning that data which was previously lost for good can now potentially be rescued.Īs usual, Roxio Toast Titanium has some slight problems concerning inter-compatibility with older versions and with software from other manufacturers. Another interesting feature of Roxio Toast Titanium is Data Recovery which tries to rescue data from a damaged (i.e. If creating audio CDs is your thing than you'll like the fingerprinting technology which helps you identify tracks with no name. Roxio Toast Titanium also adds some limited yet welcome editing features, in this case, trimming and cropping to clean up your videos. Your EyeTV shows can be streamed from the internet to your Mac or iPhone. Toast can still automatically connect to your TiVo and copy shows and movies across to your Mac, ready to watch there, convert for a portable device or burn to disk. In terms of new features, the most significant addition to Roxio Toast Titanium 11 is higher quality export profiles for export to Vimeo, an updated Roku video export profile and audio CD projects now allows up to 199 tracks. ![]() The new Batch DVD-Video function is great to quickly compress or convert videos to DVD. If you want to create your own DVD with menus and other features, Roxio Toast Titanium has several templates to help you along, or you can create your own custom menus.
