DVD players — even those with 720p and 1080p upconversion — are not able to display high-definition video. However, a number of different authoring applications will take high-definition .TiVo files, automatically downconvert them to SD resolution, and burn them to DVD for playback in standard DVD players. Popular Windows programs to do this include VideoRedo TVSuite and Roxio’s Easy Media Creator. VideoRedo TVSuite (14-day demo, $30 upgrade from VideoRedo) will also cut the commercials before burning to DVD. Screenshot: #1, #2, #3. For the Mac, Roxio’s Toast 9 Titanium ($80) is the most popular application to download and burn .TiVo recordings to DVD. If you have the older v8, be sure to grab the update to 8.03. Another popular choice is VisualHub ($23), which will take recordings downloaded with TiVo Decode Manager and burn them to DVD.
