   Alas, burning them to an external hard drive is a problem. You can, however, network your TIVO to your computer and store them on your computer's hard drive.  You can also burn them to a dvd from your computer provided you are willing to spring for some software.

   Cincinnati,
   Many, maybe half of the Woodworks shows from the 7 seasons are available for viewing online from DIY Network website. They do not document all the ones that are availble on their website but they have them online.
   You have to reference them by an obscure number. I'll give an example.

   The mentors show you spoke of can be view with the URL's (4 vids/show)

   I don't know about the PC but on the Macintosh it plays in quicktime
   and lets you save them to disc. I can't remember to file sizes right now but a 2 Gig USB thumb drive I have has about 6 shows (24files) on it right now.
   Goto diynet.com and click on woodworking and you will see links to the few they show available currently. There is a search box but only about 25% of the videos you can find with the method above are listed.

   Playing video isn't a Mac vs PC issue. Rather it's the bandwidth of your internet connection.

   Or you can download them and then play them. Given enough time and patience the speed of your connection probably won't matter if you download first.

   BTW, I'm currently watching on the links posted using the Windows Media Player.

   David,
   Just to make my post more clear, I wasn't suggesting there was any difference in playing on Mac vs PC. I have watched these vids on my PC at work. However, when they play in my browser or in Windows Media Player I don't know a way to save them. When I play them from the Mac in Quicktime with the Microsoft Flip4mac quicktime extension, it lets me save the actual video file to disc not just a link to the file.
   Wanted to make that clear in case it helps anybody else. If there is a way to save these on the PC I'd like to know how.

   I understood what you posted. I may have inferred it from your post because I have had the same issue with a PC. My Mac plays Quicktime format, and allows me to save a copy to my HD and back it up. I don't know how to do this on a PC.

   Tivo rocks!  For anyone who is interested in hacking their Tivo and networking it (it's basically a Unix workstation) all the info you need is here.  Pretty high geek factor required, the necessary work would probably not be enjoyed by a computer novice.
