A little birdie, (or pony, actually), who just happens to work for TiVo has left a note in the TiVo Community Forums announcing that the company will be launching TiVo Desktop 2.5 as soon as Tuesday.There are a couple of major upgrades in the new release, including:
- Support for Windows Vista
- Support for DivX and XviD video compression "for Web Video Conversions"
- Convert individual shows from TiVo Desktop's now playing list at any time to any profile by right-clicking
We're also not clear on what "for Web Video Conversions means." Is it possible that you won't be able to convert movies to DivX and XviD formats to save on your computer, but only to post online? We certainly hope not.

Web video conversion is going the other way - downloading video from the web then transferring it to a TiVo. So that refers to downloading Divx/Xvid files from sites like Stage6, then moving them to TiVo to watch on TV.

Ahh, that makes more sense. Although it's a bit disappointing. It would be nice to auto-convert TiVo recordings to XviD when transferring them from your TiVo to your PC.

Do you think I will be able to browse Stage6 from TiVo then or just download from their desktop application?
