The good news is, every World Cup game broadcast in high definition this year, and with a TiVo Premiere box you can record all of the games, not miss a single goal. But still we can make it more flexible and handy for enjoying World Cup, say take the TiVo world cup recordings along and watch the stunning matches whenever we like.

The Pavtube TiVo to iPhone 4 Converter for Mac is capable of converting TiVo recordings to H.264 and MPEG-4 encoded MP4 formats, and creates up to 720p HD iPhone videos for playback on iPhone 4.



1. Transfer TiVo World Cup recordings to Mac (or MacBook)

Although the TiVo Desktop software for the Mac (supplied by TiVo) does not allow users to transfer TiVo recordings to Mac, you can transfer TiVo to Mac with specific software as long as your TiVo box is connected to your home network. Once you’ve recorded your favorite shows on your TiVo box, freeware like the TiVoDecode Manager can accomplish this task for you. Run the TiVoDecode Manager, and enter your TiVo's IP address in the “TiVo IP Address” box. Next click the Prefs button in the lower-right corner. Fill in the Media Access Key. A list of shows on your TiVo will appear in the Now Playing list. Select the show and click “Add Show To Queue”. The selected show now appears in the Download Queue list. Click Download Location to select where you want to save it. The app allows you to convert TiVo shows to MPEG-4 video for iPod as well.







As mentioned above, the freeware TiVo Decode Manager is capable of decrypting and converting TiVo HD recordings to MPEG-4 HD format for iPod from the TiVo box. If you have encrypted TiVo files on Mac, or would like to convert the World Cup recordings to iPhone 4, you might have a try with Pavtube Mac TiVo to iPhone 4 Converter (This trial version is for intel processor only, with no time or function restrictions, but converts video with a Pavtube logo watermark on the screen.)

2. Convert TiVo shows to iPhone 4 HD videos with TiVo to iPhone 4 Converter.



Step 1. Input Media Access Key in TiVo to iPhone 4 Converter.

Launch the Mac TiVo to iPhone 4 Converter, Click on the "Option" button, switch to TiVo tab, and enter your Media Access Key. Click "OK" to confirm.







Step 2: Import TiVo files.

Now click "Add" to import all *.tivo files, or you may drag and drop the *.tivo files to the window of iPhone 4 Converter.







Step 3: Trim and Crop TiVo shows to desired image size and duration.

Click on “Edit” menu if you’d like to convert partial of the TiVo shows or cut off unwanted black edges. Under 'Trim' tab you are allowed to cut out unwanted part of selected clip. To trim the movie, simply type in desired time value in ‘Start’ and ‘End’ box and click ‘Set’ button. Or you can click left square bracket and right square bracket to set start and end time when previewing the movie.







Switch to Crop tab to cut unwanted edges. You can crop the movie by adjusting the crop frame (drag the green dotted green square frame to circle the part you want to retain) or setting values (Left, Top, Width and Height) of crop area.



Step 4: Select an output format for TiVo to iPhone 4 conversions.

Click on the pull down menu of "Format" and then "iPhone" tab, here you’ll find optimized video formats for iPhone 4, iPhone 3G and iPhone 1st generation. You can select any one of them according to your own needs. To maintain best video quality for iPhone 4, you may choose “iPhone H.264 720P”, and the TiVo shows will be converted into iPhone 4 720p HD MP4 videos.







Step 5: Click "Settings" button to adjust audio and video parameters

You are encouraged to use the default settings. However, when you feel like improving HD video quality, or cutting down file size, please click on “Settings” button and adjust advanced video and audio parameters like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel. Generally, higher bit rate results in higher video quality and bigger file size. If you’d like to use the same settings for future conversion, simply click “Save As” and save your settings as a new profile. When the TiVo to iPhone 4 Converter is lunched next time, you can click on the “Format” bar find the new profile under “Custom” tab.







Step 6: Start converting TiVo shows to iPhone 4 HD Videos.

Finally, please click "Convert" button to start TiVo to iPhone 4 conversions. You can get the output files for iPhone 4 via clicking on "Open" button. Afterwards, connect your iPhone 4 to your PC, and then sync the videos to iPhone 4 via iTunes.

Best solution for playing AVCHD footage: convert down 1080p HD MTS footage to HD 720p MKV file

Camcorders capable of shooting video in HD formats are popping up everywhere, and prices are now affordable. However, the issue with this is, generally speaking; the majority of us lack the hard drive space to save out these huge MTS files to disk. One can fill a 60 GB HD camera fairly quickly, and fill a PC’s hard drive even quicker. For those who want to enjoy the high-definition contents on HDTV, the format MTS is very inconvenient, because most home media players do not support decoding this format. Many AVCHD camcorder users are trying to combine multiple HD footage as one file for easier playing and transporting, but to no avail. If you are involved in such kind of issues, Pavtube HD Video Converter is what you need. The powerful converting tool is able to convert AVCHD MTS files and videos of many other HD formats. You can convert MTS to HD video formats (HD MKV, AVI, MOV, TS,etc) for playing back, convert down MTS footage to SD video clips so as to save storage, join MTS files together, and trim out unwanted segments easily with this HD Converter.



Please refer to below how to down-scale and convert 1080p MTS footage to 720p MKV for enjoying on HDTV via media players.

Software you need: Pavtube HD Video Converter



Step 1. Import MTS 1080p footage to the HD Converter.

Run the MTS Video Converter, click“Add”button and browse to the MTS files you’d like to convert.







When the MTS files are loaded to the program, you can view the videos from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you may take snapshoot when it plays to your favorable frame by clicking the “Snapshoot” button.



Step 2. Set output format for MTS to MKV conversion.

The MTS Video Converter is capable of converting MTS footage to MKV, MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI and various other optimized formats for media players and portable devices. In order to enjoy the HD recordings on HDTV, you can convert MTS video to MKV. Just click on the “Format” bar and select desired MKV format from the profile list. MTS is a typical HD video format with very high video quality. Meanwhile it takes up much more space than other video formats. If you are unwilling to degrade the HD MTS video quality, “HD Video”-> “MKV HD Video” (*.mkv) is a better choice for you. To save storage, you could follow “Common Video”-> “MKV Matroska Video” (*.mkv). A best solution to balance video quality and storage occupancy is converting 1080p MTS to 720p MKV. You may choose HD MKV format (1080p) first and customize it to 720p HD MKV format.







Step 3. Further customize A/ V settings.

To customize video and audio parameters, simply click “Settings” button and enter Settings panel. Find Video Size and set it to 1280*720 instead of 1920*1080. By setting a smaller video bitrate you could reduce the output file size. Another way is to set video codec as “h.264” instead of “xvid”, since h.264 encodes video with higher compress ratio with relative high quality.







Step 4. Start converting MTS 1080p to MKV 720p.

Click “Convert” to start converting MTS to MKV format when everything’s ready. The MTS to MKV Converter supports batch conversion so you may load multiple MTS and MTS files and convert them to MKV at one time. You may also merge them to one file by checking the box “Merge into one file” before conversion starts. After conversion you may click “Open” button to find generated MKV files. After conversion you can transfer 720p MKV file to media players like Western Digital TV player and PS3 for watching on wide screen TV.



Tips:

1. Join and split MTS clips. As mentioned above, you can combine files together by checking “Merge into one file”. To split video and trim off unwanted segments, you may click “Edit” menu, switch to “Trim” tab, and set starting and ending time to include the part you want to keep only, and then leave it to the MTS to MKV converter.

2. Convert 1080p MTS file to 720p MKV with AC3 5.1 sound. Click “Settings” and set Audio Codec Name to “ac3” and Channels to “6” instead of “1” or “2”.
