Downloading TiVo files to Mac for Apple TV 3, iPad and iPod Streaming

Here it shows some useful information on how to convert & transfer TiVo files to mac iTunes for Apple TV 3, new iPad 3, iPod streaming and playing with best HD video quality using a top TiVo Converter for Mac.

As the most advanced and innovative DVR (digital video recorder) ever built, the TiVo brings the best entertainment from cable and the web together in one place. That way we could record what we were already paying for and watch shows when I had the time to watch them. Yeah Tivo has a monthly fee but it’s the principle of the thing! Besides, a new toy is cool and fun to play with. Our biggest problem with TiVo was working out how to get the shows from the TiVo box to our Apple TV 3, iPad 3, and iPods where we could watch them the way we wanted to.



As is well known, the standard application for moving recordings from the Tivo box to the Mac is Roxio Toast. It’s what Tivo recommends and it’s what Hollywood has blessed. The problem with Toast is that DRM Tivo attaches to all recorded shows doesn’t allow any editing or transcoding of your recorded Tivo file. That’s when I started looking around for another way. What I found that worked best was an application called Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac, a top Mac TiVo Converter.

The program is a great little application that allows you to download your Tivo recordings to your Mac. And it packs perfect support for TiVo recordings as well as HD footages, Flash videos, General Video, QuickTime video(*.mov), etc. With the application, you can easily convert TiVo HD shows to Mac iTunes compatible formats without quality loss for smoothly streaming with Apple TV 3, iPad/iPad 2 /new iPad, iPhone 4S and other iOS devices.

Free Download the TiVo Converter for Mac
  


Convert/Transfer TiVo recordings to Mac iTunes for streaming to Apple TV 3, new iPad 3, iPod with original HD quality
  
Step 1: Launch the best TiVo Converter for Mac iTunes, Click on the “Option” button, switch to TiVo tab, and enter your Media Access Key. Click “OK” to confirm.



  
Step 2: Drag and drop the *.tivo files to the software.


  
Step 3: Click on the pull down menu of “Format” and then tap “Appele TV”, the preset “Apple TV 3 1080P Dolby Digital Pass-through(*.m4v)” is recommended to you. The profile is speically designed for Apple TV 3 with 1080p HD effect.



For watching iPad and iPod, choose the corresponding profile from "iPad" and "iPod" option.

Some more helpful features of the app:
  
1. Settings- Click to set video resolution(1920×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate(from 2Mbps to 10Mbps), frame rate for different needs. For example, you can set birate from the default “8Mbps” to “4Mbps” for new iPad 3. (Note: The file size is based more on bitrate than resolution. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss)



2. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, denoise, mute, volume up, trim, crop, etc.

Step 4: Start the process by converting TiVo to Mac iTunes H.264-compliant MP4 for Apple TV 3, iPad and iPod.

Step 5: Import new .mp4 file into iTunes (drag .mp4 file to the iTunes icon on the dock)

PS: Transferring TiVo recordings to Mac is not that easy and straight-forward as to PC. The TiVo Desktop software for the Mac (supplied by TiVo) does not allow user to transfer TiVo recordings to Mac, here I take some help from the freeware TiVoDecode Manager which gives you some of the features for taking content from your TiVo, moves it over to your computer, and automatically adds it to iTunes. Although it does have support for conversion, the quality of the result videos is poor and converting speed is so slow yet the output for apple devices are terrible.

On Apple TV 3, I browsed the iTunes library for the movie and it played the converted TiVo shows smoothly. I found the quality to be excellent and see no difference when compared to playing the TiVo recordings themselves. Of course, the same result as on iPad 3 and iPod.

Top Blu-ray Ripper for Mac Review: Rip Blu-ray Movie on Your Mac


Users Reviews:

We are a modern normally family with different devices. I had the Mac Version which worked really well for me. I have lots of Blu-ray, DVD and other legally bought films which I want to play over my home network on tablet devices. Between us my family and I have iPads, Surface, Android, PC's and Xbox's so disk format, particularly with copy protection means they would normally be useless and if I had not brought Pavtube product to the market. I would not have purchased the DVD's and Blu-Rays. With Pavtube BDMagic for Mac, I can freely enjoy 2D/3D Blu-ray/DVD on my portable devices with ease. So ironically Pavtube actually help the movies studios sell more as without its solution I would not buy their films.

Below is how I rip my Blu-ray and DVD movies to MP4.

Now just download it and follow the tutorial below.

1. Click the top left icon to import Blu-ray/DVD discs correspondingly.
 

Click the drop-down list on the bottom; choose proper presets according to your device model. You can see columns for normal devices.

Basically the “Common Video -> H.264 Video (*.mp4)” is a universal format for your tablets and smartphones or NAS devices.

Or depends on your device, you can choose a suitable video format from “Android” or "iPad" or "Windows" catalogue, or you can use the small search box to locate your device quickly.





2. Check the pencil-like icon to activate the editing function. Here you can trim video for your needed length, crop video to get rid of annoying black edges, join multiple video clips into one, add text/image watermark and add subtitles.

For example, if the original Blu-ray/DVD movie has no subtitle or the subtitles you need, you can download it from website and then add it into the output videos for full enjoyment with this software.

Notice the small triangles under the progress bar? Click them to adjust frame by frame easily.



3. If you want to output video in specific size, bitrate or frame rate, click “Settings” (which is marked as “3″) and change the digits as you need. Pls notes that the video quality improved with the bitrate, but not the higher the better. You need to consider your device configuration as the high bitrate required higher read&write speed.

4. Ok now click the “Convert” button to start converting/copying Blu-ray/DVD to iPad, Surface, Android, PC and Xbox 360 for playing or streaming. After conversion, click “Open” to locate the converted video directly.

The Windows version is Pavtube BDMagic, it’s also on 30% off to thanks for your great support;

Part II. As iTunes, Amazon or Google Play videos are no good due to the DRM protection which will lock you for playback directly, so I'm considering about how to remove the DRM protection from these videos to unprotected mp4 files so as to play on my device easily.

I use Pavtube ChewTune for Mac, perfect tool to legally remove DRM protection from purchased iTunes movies, Amazon Instant Videos, and digital copies.

Three simple steps for recording and converting DRM videos to portable devices

1. Import a single DRM video or a folder to free downloaded Pavtube DRM removal.

2. choose optimized output formats. I can find at least one profile for every smartphone or tablet I have.



What about your device not listed? Don’t worry, choose similar device and change presets to suit the needs of your device, which can be easily handled.

2. Last but not least, hit the “Convert” icon to start DRM removing process.

It would take as long as the source movie length for the whole DRM removing conversion  process since Pavtube ChewTune for Mac records source DRM videos in 1:1 video and audio quality. I would prefer to start converting my DRM videos before bedtime, so it could run overnight and the conversion would be successfully complete when I get up, which it would not interface my spare time.

More info for converting DRM protected videos:

Make sure that your computer is authorized for source videos, that is to say you can play the source iTunes movies in iTunes, play Amazon and digital copy using Windows Media Player.
Allow the audio driver installed during the Pavtube ChewTune for Mac installation.



Good News! Pavtube Studio is offering money saving bundles for ChewTune for Mac. With either bundle package, not only can you save money, you will get the most powerful combination from Pavtube to handle Blu-rays, DVDs, regular videos as well as DRM protected videos files.

APPLE's revamped tablet line-up, including a high-definition "Retina" iPad Mini 2 and a slimmed-down, speeded-up iPad Air, has received an enthusiastic reception from the critics - and both models are now available to buy.



Overview of the new iPad models

The iPad Air, which Apple says is 20 per cent faster than its predecessor thanks to a new A7 chip, will be available in silver, white, 'space grey' and black. It has the same 9.7-inch screen as the iPad 4, which will no longer be available. The iPad Mini 2 also gets an A7 chip and it too now has a Retina display - Apple's term for its highest-definition screens. The previous generation of iPad Minis had less sharp displays. We can say without reservation that it absolutely rocks for watching HD movies even Blu-ray movies. 

Meanwhile, it is just in time for holiday shopping, and many Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday Blu-rays are on Sale. During Thanksgiving, it would be a nice thing to watch Blu-ray movies with our families.
