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

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.
