You don't need to transcode it to MPEG4/H.264. A BD can just as easily have MPEG2. It works fine creating a BD with MPEG2 content.Do you want to simply burn the mpeg2 based TiVo hi-def to BD as a large .mpg file for archiving or do you want to transcode the recorded content to actual BD video on a 25gb BD that you can pop in into BD player and watch?
For simple archiving- you can use any BD burning program (Nero, CD Burner XP, ImgBurn, etc..) and simply burn the mpg2 file to the BD.
For true BD creation- you need to transcode the original mpg2 video file to H.264 based video with a transcoding program like Handbrake or MeGui then author that file to BD folders with tsMuxeR then burn to BD with ImgBurn.
Of course the first step no matter which method you choose is to edit out unwanted segments with VideoRedo.

You have to open the .tivo file with VideoRedo (because VideoRedo accesses your file with your individual TiVo media access key) and save it, even if you aren't doing any edits- then run it through Handbrake.Handbrake gave me an error when I tried to load a .tivo file....
ThanksWhy not use VideoReDo to turn it into an mpg file from the .TiVo file. It only takes a few minutes for an hour long HD show and then with that you can create the BD using the mpg file. The HD and audio content will be identical to the .TiVo file which is HD using mpeg2 with DD audio.
