TiVo File Decoder software converts a .TiVo file
(produced by the TiVoToGo functionality on recent
TiVo software releases) to a normal MPEG file.
This has the same functionality as using TiVo's
supplied DirectShow DLL on Windows with a tool
such as DirectShowDump, but is portable to
different architectures and operating systems, and
runs on the command line using files or pipes. The
conversion still requires the valid MAK of the
TiVo which recorded the file, so it cannot be used
to circumvent their protection, simply to provide
the same level of access as is already available
on Windows.
