+tivodecode - TiVo File Decoder
+
+This software converts a .TiVo files to a normal MPEG file. This has
+the same functionality as using TiVo's supplied DirectShow DLL on
+Windows with a tool such as DirectShowDump, but is portable to
+different architectures and operating systems, and runs on the command
+line using files or pipes. The conversion still requires the valid MAK
+of the TiVo which recorded the file, so it cannot be used to
+circumvent their protection, simply to provide the same level of access
+as is already available on Windows.
