Problems?
If you are still having problems with your listings, please delete your tivotool configuration file. This file is located in Home/Library/Preferences/tivotool.conf. Some support binaries (see credits page) were moved to a private folder so we don't conflict with other programs. Your preferences file may still be pointing to the old location; removing it will reset it to the correct location next time you start TivoTool.

Video iPod Support + more in 0.5.0
TivoTool 0.5.0 has just been uploaded. Here is the changelog:

- "Add to iTunes" now produces iPod compatible video.
- Audio sync issues with iTunes video fixed.
- iTunes video quality improved greatly.
- Control bitrate of iTunes videos in "Video" section of preferences.
- Some metadata is now added to iTunes videos.
- Another burning change for UK tivos (transcode mode).

As you can see, the bulk of this update is related to video iPod compatibility. It's been a really exciting time lately, with all the announcements from Apple. Many people were wondering about the new iPod: great but where is the video content? Desperate Housewives and Lost are good shows, but let's face it we need more content to make the new iPod a success. The Tivo is an obvious choice for hours and hours of content that we already own. It is waiting night and day to get what we want, or even what it thinks we might want. This is exactly the kind of device the video iPod needs access to.

They can now work together, with TivoTool. In fact iTunes was being used as a video library by TivoTool months before this flurry of activity. The catch is that you need a "hacked" Tivo. Right now this is the only way to get unencrypted video directly onto a Mac. As you are probably aware, there is no TivoToGo for Mac and therefore no decryption routines. We'll see what comes of this, the ball is in TiVo's court.
