It is quite hard to upload TiVo videos to Plex Media Sever for streaming to Roku, Xbox 360, PS3, Android/iOS devices? As a matter of fact, all these issues are caused by the file format compatibility. As far as I know, Plex can’t handle TiVo format. TiVo is an encrypted video format, that’s why few media players can play it well and some freeware can’t handle it. To get the work done, I found more than one people recommend Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to encode TiVo to Plex. Here is review. 

Overall, this video app is professional on fast transcoding TiVo to Plex Media Server with MP4 format without quality loss. In addition, it not only supports TiVo videos, but also handles various common video formats, like MKV, MXF, MTS, MOV, MP4, AVI, WMV .etc. Plus, with the built-in video editor, you can also choose to trim, crop, add watermark to your original videos. Here our task is to encode TiVo to MP4 for Plex Media Server. The process is much simple. For Mac users, iMedia Converter for Mac is also a helpful app to encode TiVo to Plex on Mac OS X(Yosemite, Mavericks included) for further usage. Follow below guide to start TiVo movie to Plex conversion on Windows 10. 

How to Convert and Play TiVo shows via Plex Media Server 
 


Step 1. Load TiVo files 

After the successful installation, click “Load file(s)” or “Add video”to load TiVo video into the program. 

 

Tip: When first loading, Pavtube TiVo Converter will ask you to input your Media Access Key. Simply press “Option” button and switch to “TiVo” tab to enter your Media Access Key, and click “OK” to confirm. 

 

Step 2. Select output format 

Click “Format” and choose MP4 from “Common Video” as output format, the mostcompatible video format for Plex. 

 

Note: The output format is preferably in a common format, like MP3 for audio, MPEG-4 for video. The more common format you use, the more devices you can stream to. For example, if you use FLAC instead of MP3 for your music, you can’t stream to your Xbox 360. Just keep in mind that not all devices support all formats of media. 

Step 3. Edit TiVo Videos (Optional) 

Simply click Settings bar and you can tweak the settings to your satisfaction. With the right settings you can retain the quality of the original videos while also saving space. This is particularly helpful when streaming over your network, depending on your network quality. 

Step 4. Start TiVo to Plex Conversion 

Tap the Conversion button on the main interface to start transcoding TiVo to Plex Media Server. 

The process will be finished soon. After the conversion, you can easily find the encoded TiVo video clips in the destination folder by clicking “Open” button for playing and sharing to your other devices via Plex Media Server. Then follow here to add movies to Plexto make your media experience easy and enjoyable. Enjoy Plex! 

Additional Tips: If you haven’t got TiVo files ready on your PC, follow the steps: Launch TiVo Desktop software on your PC. Connect TiVo to your home network, and then the TiVo Desktop will provide you with a list of shows for transferring to your PC. Then please transfer the TiVo TV shows you want to PC. Once all the shows you selected have been downloaded from your TiVo, they will appear in the Now Playing list in TiVo Desktop.

Comparison of Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and 10.10 Yosemite

Compare to the previous generations of Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, there are many new welcome features in 10.11 El Capitan. Fortunately, Mac users are able to upgrade to the new El Capitan for free or easily partition Mac to install both El Capitan and Yosemite for conveniently switching one to another. Following article will make a detailed comparison of El Capitan and Yostemite in many mayor aspects. 

Pavtube has upgraded with El Captian support for all its Mac Blu-ray/DVD/Video products. 

 

Performance in El Capitan VS Yosemite 

Apps in El Capitan will load apps up to 1.4 times faster and switching between apps will be twice as fast. Compare that to Yosemite: since its introduction many Mac users have been painfully aware of lags and slowdowns, such as stuttering animations and network connectivity issues. We experienced nothing like this in El Capitan. 

Look and feel in El Capitan vs Yosemite 

OS X El Capitan's user interface use a variation of the San Francisco font that was introduced with the Apple Watch and also features the iOS 9. San Franciso is much more Retina-friendly compared to Yosemite's use of Helvetica Neue. 

Force Touch trackpad support was introduced with Yosemite and in El Capitan there's additional setting within the Trackpad pane of System Preferences to deactivate the click noise. Referred to as Slient Clicking, this somehow doesn't compromise the degree of feedback, which is still handled via the Click slider. 

The El Capitan bar can now autohide via a setting in the General pane of System Preferences, in the same way that the Dock can dive out of the bottom of the screen in Yostemite and earlier releases of OS X. If you've used Full Screen mode in Yosemite then you'll already have experienced this feature but now it can be used all the time to gain a precious few centimeters of desktop space. 

Core tools in El Capitan vs Yosemite 

Safari: The new Safari on Mac OS X El Capitan is the perfect browser tool for your Mac device. The New Safari allows you to Pin your favorite websites, thus you can keep them opened, likewise you can mute audios without checking the tab from which the sound is coming from. The Develop menu of Safari, accessible via the Advanced pane within Safari's Preferences, now features a cool Responsive Design mode that lets you switch the web page to dimensions used on various Apple devices. 

Mail: As with Safari, feature additions in Mail within El Capitan are subtle compared to Yosemite. With the new Swipe gesture and improved full screen support, you can now optimize the way you read or manage your mails better on Mac OS X El Capitan - you can use this feature as a quick correspondence handler, and also manage your contacts and calendar much better from your inbox. With one swipe, you can mark an email as read or unread. 

Notes: Notes in El Capitan is essentially a whole new app compared to Yosemite, featuring more control over text formatting. The app is also now a share destination from within other apps, so you can send a map location straight to a new note, for example, or even a file from Finder/the desktop. The Reminders app can also receive items in this way via its own new entry on the share menu. To gain access to the new notes features, make sure upgrade your Notes iCloud database when you first run Notes on El Capitan, but doing so also makes your existing notes instantly incompatible with earlier versions of Apple's operating system. 

Maps: The enhanced Maps available on Mac OS X El Capitan provides maximum public transit information you can ever ask for, thus you will never miss your way even in a big city. You will have access to in-built public transport maps, directions and schedules. With El Capitan, you can easily plan your route with just few clicks. 

System tools in El Capitan vs Yosemite 

Spotlight: The new Spotlight window introduced in Yosemite can be moved around in El Capitan by clicking and dragging. It can also be resized to show more than a handful of results. Spotlight in El Capitan can also respond to Siri-like queries, such as "photo from last November in Germany". 

Mission control: El Capitan also comes with a full screen tweaks and mission control features. The mission control displays the names of existing apps at the top of the screen page, and this has replaced the thumbnail feature on the Yosemite. 

Disk Utility: Disk Utility has been given a visual overhaul compared to Yosemite and now features a bar graph showing how full a partition is, and what kind of files are taking up the space. 

Disk Ultility: The Disk Utility has been given a visual overhaul compared to Yosemite and now features a bar graph showing how full a partition is and what kind of files are taking up the space. Disk repartitioning within Disk Utility is now handled via a more common sense pie chart representing the entire disk, with a handle on its border that can be dragged to resize individual partitions. 

Mac users who have upgraded to the new Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan may encounter with some video playing and editing issues since many video players or editing applications have not updated themselves with perfect support for this new OS. With Pavtube recently upgraded Mac products, you will get no problems to copy/backup 2D/3D Blu-ray/DVDdisc, convert and edit virtually any SD/HD/2K/4K video and audio formats on Mac OS X El Capitan.

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 TiVobrings 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.

As you know, iTunes is a free app that runs on Mac, PC, iPhone, iPod, iPad and Apple TV. With it, you can organize and play digital music and videos on your computer easily, but due to file format issues, iTunes can’t support these formats (mostly MKV, AVI, VOB, MPG, TiVo, etc).
