Part 1: What is Tivo?
TiVo is the pioneer of the digital video recorder (DVR). TiVo was introduced in the United States, and is now available in Canada, Mexico, Australia, Taiwan, and The UK. TiVo DVRs provide an electronic television programming schedule, and provide features such as Season Pass recordings and WishList searches. TiVo also provides a range of features when the TiVo DVR is connected to a home network, including movie and TV show downloads, advanced search, personal photo viewing, music offerings, and online scheduling. Supposing you have a raft of Blu-ray collections at home, ever thought of copying your Blu-ray movies into TiVo for viewing on HDTV instead of using the physical discs?
Part 2: How to transfer Blu-ray movies into TiVo?
As all we know, most commercial Blu-rays are entwined with various copy protections, that's to say, you're impossible to copy Blu-ray movies to TiVo directly. In addition, neither Blu-ray folder nor image file are supported by TiVo, while based on our careful research, we come to figure out the best compatible format for TiVo is MPEG-2. In conclusion, for the purpose of smoothly transferring Blu-rays into TiVo, you'd better rip and convert Blu-ray to TiVo's preferable video format MPEG-2 initially. In short, you need a professional Blu-ray to TiVo Ripper program. And here Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac is highly recommended for you. The program is an easy-to-use yet professional tool to convert Blu-ray to TiVo supported MPEG-2 format with high quality. With it, you can also keep the right subtitles while ripping Blu-ray discs. If you are a Windows user, you can turn to Brorsoft Blu-ray ripper Windows (Windows 10 included), which has the same function as the Mac version. Here is how to do it.
Download the best Blu-ray to TiVo software:
Step 1. Load Blu-ray movies
