Any file you can save to your computer you can be copy it to a DVD. It may not be able to be played in the particular format it is in. You may have to find a program, free or otherwise that will convert it to something you can use in a DVD player. Beware of Copyright Laws that may be part of Tivo files.

Yes. You can copy the contents of the DVD to a USB drive on another computer. Then install it on your dvd-less computer. Verified to work.

No. There is no DVD recorder built in. You would need to copy the video file to a flash drive.

Yes you can, I have used mine for SD video cards(from my Sony Camcorder) to DVD, VHS to DVD and DVD to DVD. One of the best purchases I've ever made, no waiting for it to download to your computer so you can burn it. Hope this helps! :-)

You can use it like an old VCR -- record by times etc... But the guide (show listings) will be empty. Also -- if it is a Series 2 the HD will not look great as the TiVo does not support HD.

No, this converts component input to HDMI output. This is for DVD players and game consoles that use component cables. What you need is an HDMI to COMPOSITE (RCA yellow, white and red cable) converter, or just a composite cable for your Tivo.

Hi Amy, Sorry, it does not burn DVDs. You can transfer/store data on it, and record and play-back only.

I've not burned things to a dvd but don't see why you couldn't. It downloads very easily onto your computer, so you could burn from there. It may be best to use Windows Live Movie Maker in order to put it into a more usable format.

If you have the proper cables (sold separately). This is the software only to capture the video to your pc and burn it to DVD (DVD Burner also required!)

I don't think so, this device suppose to enable connecting new HDMI devices into old composite connection and translate sound and image accordingly. To write record or burn DVDs using a PC would require a software like Nero Toast etc. These softwares prepare media prior to fit a dvd before it does it. I assume you could record onto your PC by this would require a recording or a grabbing software. Unless someone has more enlightened answer that's the best of my knowledge.

I haven't tried it but I'm guessing most likely not. Not many home DVD players do if any that I'm aware of. I'd suggest burning a movie to a DVD-R if you are going that route.

I have some old VHS tapes from Europe (PAL system) which I want to convert to DVD. Would this software work for such a purpose.

I'm in the same boat --- have lot's of 8Hi camcorder tapes I would like to convert to DVD --- will this machine do this function?

I have done it, but it requires special software. Just Google "VHS to DVD software" and you should find some options that suit your needs.

Margaret, not that I am aware of. I'm pretty sure that is a feature specifically for Tivo-to-Tivo. I would think the actual recording file format is different and proprietary to prevent pirating.

As far as I know you cannot. Removing a drive removes everything recorded with it from the Tivo. I believe the files are encrypted as well, so I don't think you can copy them over using your computer.
