If you're not concerned with saving space then just save the episodes as individual .mpg files.
Here is how I do this... First I rip the DVD to my hard drive using a decryption program. (I use AnyDVD, but any DVD ripping app should work) I then use VideoReDo to "Open Title From DVD" and select the large multi-hour title that contains all episodes. I then select each individual episode by marking the start and end and then click Trim Unselected. I then click Save As, select the MPEG2 Program Stream output and queue it to batch. When I'm done with all the episodes on the disc I run the batch to generate the individual files. Then I use pyTiVo Meta Generator to grab the metadata for each episode and then transfer them to my TiVo using pyTiVo as the server. This way they group into a folder with the episode title and information.
This process works good for TV shows. Movies not so good as there are issues with subtitles and multi-angles you have to worry about.
