TiVo Desktop 2.5 with Vista and DivX support coming Tuesday

A little birdie, (or pony, actually), who just happens to work for TiVo has left a note in the TiVo Community Forums announcing that the company will be launching TiVo Desktop 2.5 as soon as Tuesday.

There are a couple of major upgrades in the new release, including:

• Support for Windows Vista
• Support for DivX and XviD video compression "for Web Video Conversions"
• Convert individual shows from TiVo Desktop's now playing list at any time to any profile by right-clicking

It's a bit silly that it's taken TiVo this long to implement Windows Vista support. The operating system's been out for more than half a year, and was readily available to beta testers for some time prior to that. But we suppose it's better late than never.

We're also not clear on what "for Web Video Conversions means." Is it possible that you won't be able to convert movies to DivX and XviD formats to save on your computer, but only to post online? We certainly hope not.
