Saving Recordings to DVD
Once you have TiVo recordings on your computer, you may want to save them on a DVD you
can play on your computer, or burn a DVD that you can play on other DVD players.

Saving vs. Burning DVDs

A DVD is a storage device, like a computer hard drive, or a floppy disk. You can save any kind
of file to a DVD, including recordings transferred from your TiVo DVR. This is just another
form of data storage.
Burning a DVD usually means creating a video DVD that will play in other DVD players, like
the one in your living room. Creating this kind of DVD requires additional DVD burning
software.
TiVo Desktop does not include DVD burning capability. However, there are many DVD
burning applications available for your computer. You can find more information at
www.tivo.com/togo.
TiVo recordings stored on a data DVD or CD will play back on any computer with TiVo
Desktop and your computer’s media player.
You can find information about DVD
burning software that will work with
your TiVo recordings from a company called
Sonic. Visit www.tivo.com/sonic.
