TiVo is a popular home setup box for recording television programs and movies for later playback. It has the capability to transfer the recordings to your personal computer by using the TiVo Desktop Software application.

As a result, it is required to convert the TiVo files to MPEG format for viewing on most computers. Writer Bio
