TiVo Video Extraction with Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the extract-me-with-the-network-of-love dept.

Arf4 writes "I recently published an article that describes extracting video from a TiVo Series 1 digital video recorder. I have been searching the boards for info on a Mac OS X solution, but came up blank. After experimenting with my iBook I figured out a way to do it. Using nothing more than a TiVo and Mac OS X (plus a few other free goodies), you can start backing up the latest Alias or Simpsons." Well, and a network card.

  1. ReplayTV has a java based program for extracting.. by Scyber · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://dvarchive.sf.net Only for the newer models with built in ethernet. 2.0 should be released soon (next week) which will add some new features.

  2. Re:How about upgrading TiVo with a Mac? by Battal+Boy · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is possible. VersionTracker has a freeware utility for formatting and blessing a Tivo drive on Mac OS X, if you want to upgrade your Tivo drive(s). Also almost all tutorials for doing such things on LINUX will work for OS X as well, as they use the"dd" utility.

    Also check out TiVoFerkey, an interesting remote Tivo interface for controlling Tivo from your Mac.
