Dave Zatz has an excellent tutorial which explains how to rip your DVD movies and play them back using your TiVo. To play the recordings back, you need to have TiVo’s latest software release (7.2).
To be perfectly honest, I’m not exactly sure why you would want to do this however; it is still pretty neat. In any case, it is a good example of what you can do with your TiVo.

Joshua’s tutorial is good, but adds a couple of longer steps… after creating one vob with dvdshrink, use dvd patcher to convert 16:9 to 4:3. Only takes a few seconds. Also, AC3 audio works fine on my tivo w/o dvdr… so no need to convert to wav

DVDPatcher will make the video playable (you can also just goto Settings->Video and enable 16:9 support), but if your TV doesn’t add the letterbox to the 16:9 stream you end up with a stretched image, which in my opinion is not watchable.

how do you convert mov files into wmv files, without having installed quicktime player itself?
just wondering if anyone knew.
hello? Please help
did you do a google search?
I’ve never done it myself but I’m sure it’s possible. Anybody have any specific advice?
yes I did already, thanks for the advice though.
I’ve tried many programs but none seem to work.
you might need to bite the bullet and buy Quicktime. This is why I bought it.
Your’e sure there isn’t any way of doing it?
oh well.
got to go, I’ll be back later.
I’m back!
okay,
so if there aren’t any programs out there that convert mov files to wmv files, then where can I get a copy of quicktime player?
Perferably zipped or somehow small-a-lized (I have dial-up, so it would take a million years if the file was 5mb)
Anybody?
Argh!
