Decrypt and remove commercials from Tivo recording for playback on Windows/Mac

A Tivo Converter Customer Review From Pavtube:
I have recorded an entire season of favorite TV plays via Tivo box and it have the commercials on it with Tivo. How can I skip them? TiVo DVRs do not offer a commercial skip feature. It’s totally understandable as the commercial is a part of the source signal; but it troubles me a lot when playback the recorded TV plays: I have to pause and skip the ads manually. I used to be fine with that but now my daughter grows up and she’s fond of this: every time when it comes to ads she will cry. I’m totally not computer-savvy but have to look for a good solution.
It’s widely accepted that TV recordings from Tivo box are protected; we cannot edit or change it nor remove the ads within that context. After spending several days browsing the websites, finally I get this Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to work. It’s very easy to convert tivo files and you don’t need to change any specs; also the ads trimming is quite simple. Moreover, I also convert and copy many Disney Blu-ray movies to my Nabi 2 android tablet, my daughter can watch these movie on Nabi 2 when I'm busying in my yard.
Note: If you only have a Mac, the Mac version is more suitable
My workflow: Decrypt and remove commercials from Tivo recordings for different purposes on my computer
1. Install and launch this Tivo Converter; drag and drop Tivo recordings to it. Or you can click the small “plus” icon to load Tivo recordings. Pls note the first disc-like icon is to load discs – yes this tool also support converting Blu-rays and DVDs. 
2. Submit Tivo Key. 
This Tivo Converter requires your Tivo key to play the recordings. (Tips: How To Find Tivo Media Access Key) 
Right after you drag the media files to this program, it will pop up a window asking for the key; see this screenshot: 
Enter it and import the media files again; it will remember your key automatically so that we don’t need to set it any more. 
3. Remove commercials from Tivo recordings. 
Now back to the main interface; hit the pencil-like icon on the top to enter the video editor. It’s on “Trim” mode by default. Drag the two small triangles on the progress bar, you can customize the start/end point. 
Or you can submit the start and end timing on the below.
Hit “OK”. 
4. Choose format and convert. 
Find the “Format” drop-down list, there’re many presets for different using. As my only need is to watch on computer and Nabi 2 tablet, the MP4 format is most common so I chose it. Then hit the big “Convert” to start converting Tivo recording or Disney Blu-ray movie to MP4 on computer. After it completed, click “Open output folder” to get converted videos and save it to my drive for playback.

NO. 2. Magic DVD Ripper – Good

Price: $35 (Windows or Mac)



Magic DVD Ripper detects and imports DVD from optical drive automatically. If you have a DVD backup on hard drive, you can select and load the VIDEO_TS folder instead. Magic features adequate common video formats (MP4, AVI, WMV) for average users, but 32 presets are not sufficient for Android users, since there’s only 1 format for Android tablet – the Kindle Fire. As Galaxy Tab owner I would like to put DVD movies onto the 10.1' tablet and I need a costumed format to ensure smooth playback on my device. Magic DVD Ripper failed to keep the original aspect ratio, and gave softer image. Magic DVD Ripper serves as a nice tool for copying and burning DVDs though.

No. 3 DVDfab DVD Ripper – Good

Price: $49 for one-year license (Windows or Mac)



DVDfab has a comfortable blue interface, but it is not user-intuitive as Pavtube when it comes to operation. DVDfab DVD Ripper is good for those who would like to have external subtitles and 2 audio languages (MKV only), or those who want to rip a DVD to iPad MP4 and MKV at one time- this app queues up your conversion tasks and it pops up settings/queue box each time a chapter is selected (this makes the operation kind of misleading). There’re some presets for Android smartphones and tablets, and you’re allowed to custom your own format to utilize the screen of your tab. Overall, DVDfab is a nice choice for ripping DVD to MP4/MKV with multi-streams.
  

No. 4 WinX DVD Ripper – Fair

Price: $0 (freeware)



WinX DVD Ripper seems smarter; you can whether load a DVD or a VIDEO_TS folder at the very start. However, the software failed to find the correct main movie when I did test with Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011) DVD, all it finds are extra movie trailers (e.g. Ice Age 4 as it shows in below sceenshot). Anyway, you should not expect much to a free tool. WinX support quite a lot of formats(MP4, MPG, WMV, FLV, MOV), and luckily I managed to find Samsung Galaxy Tab format which works for my device. Are there any other formats for more Android tablets? Unfortunately the answer is NO. WinX DVD Ripper failed to recognize the main movie during above test, but it’s still a good choice for those who hang on to freeware.

No. 5 Aiseesoft DVD Ripper – Poor

Price: $35 (Windows or Mac)



The Aiseesoft DVD Ripper is a satisfactory application to use when you need to copy movie DVDs to computer, rip DVDs to videos or audios of any format so that you can enjoy them on your portable device like PSP, iPod, iPhone, iPad(iPad2), Zune, Blackberry, Creative Zen, Apple TV, Xbox, etc. The software does a good job working out the presets for popular Android smartphones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung GALAXY Note 2), yet not so good in terms of Android tablets- still lacking of presets to specific Android tabs. This DVD converter comes with creative editing tools, so you can customize output movies by trimming, cropping, watermarking, etc.

In Conclusion:

Pavtube DVD Ripper is proved to be the Best DVD Ripping program. It ranks top on the DVD ripping application list for almost every aspect except for interface design.

Anyhow, hope this top 5 best DVD Ripper Review can help you fast choose an easy-to-use and yet professional DVD ripping tool. Now get the best DVD Ripper Program for You!

P.S.

1. Pavtube also released an advanced version- Blu-ray Ripper ($39.2), which deals with both DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
2. If you want to get multi tracks MKV, MP4, MOV videos, Pavtube ByteCopy can do!

Check out this review by comparing the 2016 Top 5 Best Video Converter Ultimate.

Let's Get Started…

Why use Video Converter Ultimate Software?

Some things are just too good not to share. The best Video Converter software can help you show and tell your family and friends about all your favorite moments, whenever and wherever. This class of software can repackage video files in one format to make them viewable in other formats.

This software translates most of that for you.

The line at the DMV will seem short and possibly even sweet when you can pull up your favorite movie on your phone to pass the time.

Video Converter Ultimate Software: What to Look For

When you are choosing video converter software, you should first have a basic idea of which videos you want to convert. Each converter application can only change certain file format types into another set of file formats. You have to find software that both supports the file format of the video you need to convert and your target format. That might seem like a complex process when you look at it on the surface, but it's far from that – especially since the best software can convert almost any file format to almost any other format. You just want to double check that the software you choose can convert video to the formats you use.

The best video converter ultimate software not only translates files between a wide range of formats, but it can also help you edit videos in a number of ways so that you get exactly the pieces of each video you want, in the order you want them, stored in the format of your choice.

Create 3D & Multiple Audio tracks Videos for Videographers With Latest Update to Pavtube iMixMXF


The latest upgrade to Pavtube's MXF MultiMixer and iMixMXF software allows users to now create 3D videos and still support multi-track audio preservation. The latest upgrade also allows MXF videos to be played on websites, tablets, smartphones, HD Media Players and TVs.

Photographers and videographers can now convert 2D videos to 3D and preserve or mix MXF multi audio tracks with the latest upgrade to Pavtube's Video Converter Ultimate and its Mac version, iMedia Converter for Mac.




The MXF video format is familiar to most professional videographers and enthusiasts if they use any sort of professional camera or camcorder. However the MXF format is not supported by major editing software(Convert Canon MXF to multiple audio tracks ProRes 422 for FCP 6/7), most websites, tablets, smart phones and TVs, and people cannot play MXF video on them directly.

The Pavtube MXF MultiMixer software is designed to help those video-graphing fans to be able to edit or play videos on these platforms and also do much more with their videos.

"I get numerous customer requests everyday asking for ways to convert MXF video for all usable formats. A lot of users shoot videos with camcorders in HD quality and then want to upload the videos online, to websites like YouTube and others," said Sally Lee, one of Pavtube's customer support professionals.

Sally continued, "Many people converting MXF multi-track videos have tried to have all audio tracks in one video, but weren't able to do so. They simply mix them up into one, or lose one or two tracks. Some customers also have the need to output 3D videos. With the recent upgrade to our software, we found a way to help them."

Many professional cameras and camcorders now record videos with multiple audio tracks in MXF format. Canon XF series cameras, for example, are the most typical and widely used models which include two audio tracks, one is recorded by the microphone and the other recorded by headset. Of course, more audio tracks options come with more professional devices, such as Panasonic P2 MXF, and Sony XDCAM MXF.

Pavtube's developers found ways to meet customers' needs with some advanced technology in the first version of MXF MultiMixer/iMixMXF and helped users retain the original audio tracks in .MKV, .MP4 and .MOV. With this latest upgraded version they were able to add 3D output.
Sally continued "Some customers also found it helps fix some Cannon C300 clips that were corrupt, and can merge several clips into one bigger clip. These 2 features are also frequently mentioned and favored by other Pavtube users."

"With this latest update with 3D video output feature, Pavtube MXF MultiMixer/iMixer becomes unique among MXF converters. It is really good news for video editing hobbyists. They are now able to convert their current 2D videos to 3D in MKV, MOV, AVI, MP4, WMV formats so that they can play 3D video on various portable devices, and make 3D Stereoscopic editing with Premiere Pro CS5 etc. And it's still a perfect multi-track MXF mixer and preserver," concluded Sally.

Now we are in a world with a variety of digital videos.

Top 3. Quick AVI Creator

Quick AVI Creator is a video converter that supports a few major conversion formats.

Load a file, select where to save it, and then choose an output format. There aren’t many options, but you can select particular subtitle or audio tracks to use when converting.

While Quick AVI Creator doesn’t export videos to a massive list of file types, it does support the three major ones.
  • Input Formats: ASF, AVI, DIVX, DVD, FLV, F4V, MKV, MP4, MPEG, and WMV
  • Output Formats: AVI, MKV, and MP4


Top 4. WinFF

WinFF is a video converter program that supports popular formats and features like editing and cropping.

First select an output device or file format and then click Add to import a video file. Crop or rotate the video, among other options, and then click Convert to finish.
  • Input Format: AVI, MKV, MOV, MPEG, OGG, VOB, and WEBM
  • Output Format/Devices: AVI, BlackBerry, Creative Zen, DV, DVD, Google/Android, Apple iPod, LG, MPEG4, Nokia, Palm, PlayStation 3/PSP, QT, VCD, Walkman, and WMV

A major problem WinFF seems to have is that it crashes in Windows 8 if you try to change the output folder for converted files.



Top 5. YouConvertIt

YouConvertIt is an online video converter service that will convert many popular video formats. You just upload the video file and wait for an email link to the converted file.
  • Input Formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, RM, SWF, and WMV
  • Output Formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, RM, SWF, and WMV

The biggest disadvantage with YouConvertIt is the wait time to upload the video and receive your email. Their 200MB file size limit is certainly disappointing as well considering the fact that many video files can exceed this size.



Top 5+. Format Factory

Format Factory is a multifunctional media converter.

First select the file type your video should be converted to, then load the file. Advanced options are available like editing the audio channel, aspect ratio, and bitrate.

  • Output Formats: 3GP, AVI, FLV, MP4, MPG, SWF, and WMV

During setup, Format Factory tries to install a program you may or may not want. Easily stop this by choosing Decline.



After testing the 6 converted below, I recommend a top desktop media converting software - Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate for its good capability of supporting nearly all the main stream formats (e.g. MKV, AVI, WMV, Tivo, MP4, VOB, MPG, MXF, MPG, MOV, M4V, FLV, F4V, MTS, M2TS, M2T, TS, WMA, ASF, DVR-MS, WAV, DTS in WAV, RM, RMVB, RA, QT, 3GP, 3G2, DV, M4B, DAT, M2V, MOD, TOD, TP, EVO, MVI), easy-to-use interface and many considerate small features like video/audio editing before conversion. Moreover, the Mac version supports some special codecs for NLEs like FCP, iMovie, FCE, Avid, Adobe, etc. which is very important to me
