TiVo files to DVD

I have some movies stored on my TiVo DVR hard drive and would like to burn some to DVD. I believe TiVo files are encrypted and PD would not likely recognize them. Does anyone know of a free program that can transcode a TiVo file to one that PD can handle such as Mpeg 4?

thanks, Ht Windows 10 professional

Tivo to Go and Tivo also has a desktop app. The only encrypted files would probably be HBO and other movie channels. Should be able to transfer just about anything else. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

Why don't you ask TiVo?

I did ask TiVo. I downloaded TiVo desktop and was able to transfer the file to my computer but it cannot be loaded in PD. I tired converting the file with youtube downloader but it crashed.

Windows media player will play the file but it cannot be loaded in Windows disc burning software. I also tried Pinnacle studio 14 which I still have on my computer and it also does not recognize the file.

Maybe I could play it on my computer and get software that can record what is playing on my pc monitor?

If the program has the "copy once" flag set, is locked, you cannot edit it due to copyright / DRM. Some cable providers slap that flag on all the TV stations and content.

Analyze the files with MediaInfo or gSpot...
