So should you upgrade? If you have a TiVo, yes. The interface is considerably upgraded with a number of often-used tasks and settings front and center rather than buried in tabbed windows.
TOAST TITANIUM TIVO PSP
You can send the shows to Toast for burning or export to PSP or iTunes. You simply type in your Media Access Key, select the TiVo you want to work on, and pick a few shows. The TiVo Transfer program is fairly straight forward. Roxio has made a strong, basic product for those who don’t want to futz with a command line or Applescript windows. But if you want official encoding and decoding with a minimum of fuss, you’re kind of stuck.
What does this mean for those with a TiVo and no money to buy Toast 8? You have alternatives.
TOAST TITANIUM TIVO SOFTWARE
Why, you ask? Because TiVo couldn’t pull off their own OS X version and so enlisted the help of Sonic to build the software into their latest version. But what’s all this TiVo stuff then?įor some strange reason, Toast 8 comes with a TiVo Transfer program for OS X. I’ve always liked Toast - it’s simple, straightforward, and it burns solid disks with little fanfare. I can't recommend it enough.Just got the boxed version of Toast Titanium 8 in and I’m quite confused, yet happy, yet trepidatious. In summary, cTivo takes the guesswork out of getting your favorite shows and movies off the Tivo and making them Mac-friendly for editing and/or archiving. I'm always telling fellow Mac users with Tivos about cTivo and I'm amazed that there are so few that seem to be aware of it.
TOAST TITANIUM TIVO 1080P
The recordings I'm able to save from Tivo via cTivo are as good as the originals from what I see on my 1080p TV, so no complaints here.
TOAST TITANIUM TIVO PRO
You can have it mark commercials or even clip them out altogether if you're feeling more confident (I just have it mark them and I review them before clipping them out in Final Cut Pro X). It can convert the Tivo files into a wide range of different formats. There are a load of features hiding under the hood of cTivo that make it sing for anyone if they take the time to browse the wiki and play with it a little bit. It is stupid easy compared to what used to be available to Tivo owners who use Mac. If I used a wire instead, I suspect the download of the show (the longest part of the process) would speed up considerably. The only thing that slows cTivo down is that I'm grabbing my shows from my Tivo wirelessly. I can't begin to think of how many software titles out there that have been renamed but weren't functionally updated.ĬTivo worked with a minimum of fuss on my old 2008 dual quad core Mac Pro and works even faster on my current laptop, a 2012 i7 Intel Macbook Pro. I knew that it was based on the iTivo project so I didn't have high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out about cTivo and gave it a try. I had dabbled with iTivo but while the interface was much easier, functionally it was dead in the water for me. Even then, it was a slow, laborious process. I eventually came upon KMTTG and it took a while to figure it out and get the settings just right to work. The software that comes with Toast Titanium for working with Tivo was pathetically awful. I used to use KMTTG over a year ago when it was almost the only game in town.
TOAST TITANIUM TIVO ARCHIVE
I'd love to shake the developer's hand and thank them profusely for helping me archive all my favorite shows. It is a system that works for me and I couldn't do it without cTiVo. I then edit out all the commercials on the weekends via iMovie and move the finished files to my Plex library. In my case, I just let cTiVo run overnight every couple of days to download, decrypt and encode all my shows I want to keep to my Mac. Most will be happy enough just having a copy of their shows, commercials and all, in iTunes, but you can go one step better and mark the commercials so they can be skipped. I can use this freeware to download my shows to my Mac. Then I found out about cTiVo.ĬTiVo is the best option of all for me. Of course, if you're like me and would like to keep some of the shows or movies on TiVo, the choice used to be either keep it forever on TiVo and miss other programming or buy an external hard drive to add storage. Owning a TiVo is the difference between a dumb DVR & a machine that can learn about your viewing habits and make intelligent suggestions for shows to watch or record.
