Hi,

I am trying to transfer my TiVo files to my Creative Zen Media player and I
am having some problems.

I am getting the message that the Media Player does not support the TiVo
files. I am not nearly as tech-wise as many of you are so I was hoping to
find someone that is already using this media player along with TiVo files,
that can help me.

I have had no problems transferring my TiVo files to my computer and
watching them. I would like to get them onto the media player because it is
much more portable and the battery life is much longer.

Thanks i n advance......
Mike

You're probably going to have to turn them into standard mpeg files
first in order to remove the encryption. Sonic MyDVD can probably do it
(the one available through TiVo), though that is oriented towards
creating DVDs. The method described at www.evillabs.net/tivo can
definitely do it.
