Product Description:

TiVoDecode Manager (TDM) is a free Applescript Studio interface (i.e. "wrapper") for the tivodecode program that automates the process of downloading of TiVo Series 2 files to your computer and decoding into MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 files. It is not for Series 1 (ever), DirecTiVos, or Series 3.

Features include:
  • Bonjour discovery of local TiVos (or enter an IP manually)
  • Listing of show, episode, date recorded, and other information
  • One-click download and decoding of TiVo shows
  • Batch processing queue for multiple downloads
  • On-the-fly transcoding of video to Quicktime/iPod-compatible MPEG-4 movie (PPC & Intel)
  • Custom MPEG-4 compression options
  • Auto-import MPEG-4 files into iTunes' TV Show Library
  • Growl notifications
  • Indicator for completed downloads
  • Version checking option
  • Insertion of show detail in Spotlight comments
  • Episode detail (length, quality, channel, actors/actresses)

What's new in this version:

  • Added H.264 automatic compression. File size is smaller, but takes longer to compress
  • Using new versions of tivodecoder and mencoder, which should help performance
  • Fixed compatibility problems with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Now requires version 10.5 or higher. Version 10.5.6 recommended
  • Fixed startup delay with the version checking feature

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

Version 3.0 doesn't work on Tiger (10.4.11 in my case). How can I get version 2.1?

TiVoDecode Manager Troubleshooting ReportYikes. - Version: 3.0, 2/19/2009 05:04PM PST

Tried version 3.0 with MacOS 10.5.6 and a Tivo HD connected via Airport network. TiVoDecode Manager finds my Tivo and downloads the program list, but refuses to download any programs. Whether I'm trying to download a queue or an individual show, the downloads just never begin.

Also, some interface objects (the "Cancel Download" button and various items in the Prefs drawer) are enabled/disabled or shown/hidden at inappropriate times.

I really liked earlier versions of this application, so I hope it gets back on its feet soon.
