I am interested in purchasing a Tivo system...can the video on the Tivo hard drive be ripped to a computer and then burned to a DVD??

Not that I know of. You can, though record it to a DVD using a DVD recorder. My friend does this frequently.CYA Later:

It can certainly be done, if one has a video capture card or a video capture device hooked up to the PC. Technically, one would probably not call this "ripping" the video, so much as "capturing" it. However, it certainly can be done. I have done this using my ATI All In Wonder 9800 card which allows video capture. In fact, there are even those with a high definition video capture card on their PC who are using a high definition TIVO to capture video to their PC, for archiving, editing, or burning. (I have not yet done this, as my video capture card is only a standard definition card, even though my Tivo is a high def unit).
Another alternative is correctly suggested by the post above, and this also works. I have done this many times. I will archive from my TIVO to a DVD standalone recorder, and then finalize the disc. Then, I take that disc and rip it into my PC, using any of the usual ripping tools.

Instant banning and MANY MANY reds if you copy my gif. I'm barely tolerating your "NOT ... " custom user title as it is.

You can't, but that all started when I was talking to someone with MSN messenger and they said like "the superstore is back" or something like that, so I made up that title. And blutach, never knew you felt that strongly about the pic. I will make my own (not moving tho) pic.CYA Later:

OT: Why would your friend call you a superstore? Especially, if you're not?

Perhaps he employs lots of brainless idiots who pretend they know what they are talking about and delight in charging over the top for everything they sell...... oh hang on sorry was confusing drf with PC World here in England."There will come a moment when you have the chance to do the right thing......"
"I Love those moments - I like to wave at them as they pass by...."
Stop !! Before you post read this !

This was on an IM session - it comes from the fact that there are Wal-Mart Supercenters and other stores like there, so people could mistake me for the drf SupercenterOT: Why would your friend call you a superstore? Especially, if you're not? You may not get it, but that is the story in brief.

The question ladies and (ermmm) germes not How a person can be a online Superstore but rather how to Make the point of saying your not actually one, specially after actually and very factually pointiong it out yourself that a person can not be one, when asked by Anonymez....
So I whilst leaving these answers to a very specific topic I know of
And any possible psichiatric implications to a professional (my evil dark brother DR Freudonim C. e. rebrelum Born just now) I leave this Topic in peace
@drf
No I dont get that at all.... How can people confuse you with an online superstore... Are u obese???Comment

@Floppy, No, I am not - it was a joke! Seriously folks, this was a chat session, remember, how would they know what I look like? I just put that there as kind of an inside joke - you don't really need to get it. I can change it if you want.CYA Later:

Your ID is your ID - it's not offensive, nor does it breach any forum rule. It was just a bit puzzling that's all so thanks for explaining its history to us.

Well ther you go drfsupercenter.....
What I actually appreciate in people like yourself is that regardless what you strick me as 120% genuine....
So your ID is unusual.... This is a family of very odd people right here.... take me for example, a nik name aquired back in the 166mHz IBM with 5 1/4 inch floppies....
Bluetach named by others or himself for some odd reason after a sticky substance....
Chewy??? Of somewhat a "hairy" persona does this name come from, Named by a glass eyed character in a detective program he was.....
Why LT Columbo no doubt some other bizarre story or assumption of fancying himself as somewaht astute and cunning person... Or just enjoying the series so much he takes this character on here...
Whatever our reasons behind our ID's the point is we are all unique.... No one better than the other and no one most definetly will ask you to change...
Just stick around kid.... No one was born knowing it all.... I am sure you can show us a few tricks too....
Just remember....
Asking the right question is worth more than asking just any question....
The Rep and post count is irrelevant.... It is just another mind prison.... SET yourself free.....Comment
