I know you can use this to make videos if you play on 360 or PS2, but I've never actually used a TiVO. We have one in our apartment that isn't hooked up at the moment, but I kind of wanted to give it a try. Does anyone know how you actually get the video from the TiVO to a computer, and what you can use to edit the video?

I don't bother with Tivos....mosly I ether just use a TV turner card or a video capture card as it's lass hassle and you don't have to pay those terrible monthly fees for what amounts to an MEPG encoder/decoder card and a hard drive.

The two things I mentioned record directly onto PCs so you don't have to bother trying to get suff off the lame box that is Tivo....

P.s.: sorry alot of it is that I don't like Tivos but TV tuner cards and vido capture cards are still better ways of recording video to PCs simply because you skip the middleman....

The whole 'go look somewhere else' response is really getting old.
He asked a question... if you don't know, don't answer.

He asked a question that is best answered with TiVO's own documentation.

The expecting everyone else to do your own research is getting old.

Umm...I wasn't expecting other people to do research for me. My actual thought was that since this was a topic area of home-made FFXI videos on a forums of people who I think to know FFXI well, someone might know it off of the top of their head from experience and be able to give me a how-to easily. Yes, I can find anything on google, but when I'm looking for specific info I generally like to ask people who I think know it first(read: you guys). Sorry for thinking that.

He is asking people that might already know how to do it. Experience is best shared.

Experience may be best shared, but trying ot learn on your own first is the best way to gain experience in something. If you do your research and then STILL don't understand is the best time to ask a question.

5 seconds spent looking on google

What he posted was very helpful.

he's not a sad man, it's an ongoing trend and it needs to stop. Do a little research by yourself and then formulate a question.

No one is advocating laziness in this thread. I personally do much research, but sometimes it's nice to learn from others that have gone before you and not out of a book or manual. Actually inquiring about a certain topic on a forum is a type of research.

Directed questions about a topic designed to fill in gaps in your knowledge is research and beneficial. The OP asked how to do what he wants to do with no previous work on his part.
