You should select one according to your geographical regions.Blu-ray converter allows you convert blu-ray and general dvd to various video and audio formats like avi, mp4, wmv, mpeg, mkv, mov, xvid, mp3 without any loss.
Meanwhile, you can click the folder icon at the end of Output to specify where to locate the output VOB files. Additionally, if you want to combine all the TiVo files you loaded to be as a single file, you can tick the checkbox Merge into one file.
3. Set advanced settings

adjust the video and audio parameters of your TiVo files before conversion, you
can press Settings button to enter the interface as below, on which you are
permitted to adjust aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate,
etc.A tool for GPhone and related users for rip DVD to GPhone supported
formats, such as MPEG-4, H.264 GPhone video.
4. Start conversion
As soon as the above
steps are finished, you can click Convert button to begin converting TiVo
files to VOB, which is the source file that can be burn to DVD directly. Once
conversion is done, you are able to find out the output VOB files via clicking
