TiVo Desktop 2.5
TiVo today released version 2.5 of TiVo Desktop, its software for synchronizing media between PCs and TiVo's recorders. The new edition brings the iPod into the fold of supported devices and will automatically import converted media files from a connected Apple media player into the iTunes library. Viewers can also now use TiVo Desktop with Windows Vista, play either DivX or XviD clips and shuttle them between the PC and a networked device, and reconvert any video already transfered across the network regardless of the profile.
Though the update isn't yet listed on TiVo's website, the download is available now and should be free for at least existing users. The update requires either Windows XP or Vista plus 5GB of space to store synchronized content; a Mac version of the software has yet to exist and has not been announced. [via TiVo Community]
