1107761 2010-06-07 22:22:00 Any (Free?) applications out there that will allow you to trim the .tivo files that you've copied across?

The problem with using the default software to convert it for a portable first is the quality is horrible.

Basically I'd just like the ability to trim off the start / end of a few things...

Thanks


Chill.

but from what I can glean from the net
they are MPEG2 in a special wrapper.

this I found...don't know if it'll help
but looks good for cross platform
use as it's a java application

1107764 2010-06-07 23:41:00 You are probably correct...as I said I don't know much about them
and very little on the net! Sorry if I wasted your time.:o

1107766 2010-06-08 05:23:00 Are you still on a mac? Roxio's mac2tivo or their player will edit, I think. Not sure if its compatible with nz tivo plod (107)

1107768 2010-06-10 10:44:00 So, Toast 10 lets me convert it, and I'm supposed to be able to trim it but I've not worked out how so I will hit the Google machine shortly and see if I can find a quick How-To.

Did a convert though and the quality / resolution was infinitely better than the normal TiVo-provided app!

what does it convert it too? You could always chuck into imovie.Even quicktime will trim.
Toast is great, surprising for roxio software
