Transferring VIDEO_TS folders to Tivo Series 2 from my Mac

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

You can't. Galleon which sits on top of TTG only allows you to move
back files that are in the TiVo proprietary encrypted format. Even hacked
TiVos can't do this (unless something new is available that I'm not aware
of).

The new TTG and TivoDesktop allows moving MPE2 content from your PC to
your Tivo. I don't know if Galleon supports that.
