yes. does your tivo have a usb port on the back of it. if it does than you can if not your screwed. get a flash usb drive or jus a cord and make a folder on you comp to save to. you might need some kind of software to read it but this sould get you started.

That is not an easy question to answer.  There are a lot of things to consider here.  If it is a VIDEO_TS folder that needs to be burned, I use Nero...  \n\nBUT there is a wonderful site that can help at www.videohelp.com.  They have loads of tutorials that can help you.

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:\n\n1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this \n\n2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)\n\n\n**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress\n\n\nIf your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode \n(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")

You probably can't "transfer" the stuff on your DVR in an ALL DIGITAL format straight to your Computer. There may be a way, but it would be far out of the realm of yahoo answers, and unless you're experienced with computer hardware / programming, probably not worth your while.\n\nWhat you can do is get yourself a video capture card/device (see link below). Hook up your DVR to your capture Device (ie. Svideo to Svideo or RCA to RCA) and use the software included on with the device to record it onto your computer.  You'll get pretty good quality, and your shows will be on your computer.

I have actually done exactly what you want.  Here's the short answer:\n1.  Buy a video capture card.\n2.  After installing it, use the software that comes with it to record video.\n3.  Play the video you want to record (like a VHS tape).\n4.  After the tape is finished, you'll have to stop the software.\n5.  Repeat for each video tape.\n\nLonger answer:\nI bought a PCI video capture card.  As long as it can do 640 by 480 or 720 by 480 you're good.  Cheap ones are less than fifty bucks.  More expensive ones just come with better software.  You can get the software seperately.  A cheap one will just record to MPEG-1 or something weak like that.  The better ones give you more options of file type.  when I did it I didn't have a DVD burner, just a CD burner so I chose options that ended up with ugly quality.  I plan to go back and do it again sometime now that I have a DVD burner so I can use the highest quality settings.  By the way, as long as you're doing this for your own use only, I think it's perfectly legal.

You could burn it into your computer and burn it out. Or if you have a dvr you could burn directly from dvd to blank cd on you computer, asuming you have Nero.

If it is on a DVD, the recording is already digital.  Getting content off of a CD or DVD is called "ripping" and yes, it is possible, but what tools you will need to use will depend upon whether and how the DVD is copyright-protected.\n\nThere are lots of free, open-source, tools for DVD ripping that can be found at sourceforge.net (see link below), but they are mostly for the Linux OS and, as far as I can tell, not specifically meant for ripping copyright-protected DVDs.  I could be wrong, however, so feel free to browse through the list (just search for "DVD ripper").\n\nIf you do a Google search for the same subject, there is no shortage of proprietary non-free software tools for DVD ripping, including ones that claim to be able to bypass any copyright protection scheme.\n\nI hope that this helps!
