TiVo Desktop 2.5 On The Way: Vista, DivX, Xvid, Oh My

As early as tomorrow, TiVo will grace us with Desktop 2.5 (PC) featuring:

• Support for Windows Vista.
• Support for DivX and Xvid formats for Web Video Conversions (wrapped in .avi or .divx containers).
• Convert individual shows from Desktop’s Now Playing list at any time, to any profile, by right-clicking.

Web video conversions? Hm! Can we also transcode TiVo recordings to DivX or Xvid? (That $25 Plus Key may suddenly become more valuable…) Is transcoded video still limited to 320×240 in the iPhone era? Stay tuned for these answers and more.

(Thanks, Steve!)
