As we all know there is no certain software developed for Mac users to transfer and replay TiVo DVR recorded files as "TiVo Desktop" doing on Windows. But if you want to do format conversion between TiVo file and other video formats on your Mac directly, what is your method? My way is to use Pavtube Tivo Converter for Macto achieve my goal. Once you are sure you have the same requirement as I do, follow these steps to find the solution.

Requirements:

- TiVo recordings: they can be from your own TiVo DVR or from the DVR of your friends

- TiVo Media Access Key: it is a specific 10-digit number assigned to every TiVo account holder. If your TiVo source file are from your friends, then ask him/her for it.
