Using a digitizer like the Canopus requires you to play back the file in real time, and import into iMovie or Final Cut Pro. This monopolizes your TiVo and Mac, and will result in a loss of quality.


By extracting the files directly off the TiVo, you get the original's digital quality. This is sheer bliss of a DirecTiVo, where the video quality won't suffer from the digital-analog conversion.


The digitizing process might work for some, but for others it just doesn't cut the mustard.
