After you record some TV shows which you love very much, you may want to transfer them to iTunes so as to enjoy them on your iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad, etc. However, the problem is, the iTunes does not accept the TiVo files, which are plain MPEG-2 videos, so, if you want to enjoy the TiVo files on your iPhone or iPad, you need to convert the TiVo videos to iTunes compatible format such as MP4.
