So first TiVo goes and outsources TiVoToGo for Mac to Roxio, and then Roxio leaves out one of the promised features, a TiVo theme on DVDs you burn from TiVoToGo recordings.Well, it turns out that since TiVoToGo is built into Toast Titanium 8, and since Roxio figures that a fairly small number of Toast users will really be using the TiVo functions, they left the TiVo theme out of the official release. That seems a bit silly. Why bother building TiVoToGo functions into your product and then leave out a theme that only takes up a few megabytes?
Anyway, Dave Zatz posts a link to download the TiVo theme. All you have to do is download the file, unzip it, save tivo.psd to the Toast DVD Menu Styles folder, and you're done. Zatz also points out that since the file is a psd file, you could probably use Photoshop to edit the theme to your liking
1. That's not why they did it... did you actually read what Dave posted? Do you actually use Mac software? They said that they ship this product worldwide, and since Mac software includes every language in a single application bundle, it wouldn't make sense to ship the menu which is several MB in this bundle - since it only applies to people in the US and Canada who can use TiVo. They didn't say they only expect a few people to take advantage of the TiVo functions.
Read before you report incorrect information.
