What is the best/easiest way to get a .tivo file into iMovie for editing?

I have some TiVo recording shows. And I intended to bring the TiVo HD shows into iMovie for editing and then share my movies with my friends. But iMovie don’t support TiVo files. I figure a conversion is needed. I tried VLC to make a .mov file without luck (don’t know how to set up the output specs). When searching google, I find I need a mac TiVo to iMovie Converter to transcode TiVo to AIC MOV or H.264 MOV iMovie can recognize. I tried several TiVo to iMovie Convert sotfwares, And only the program from Pavtube Studio works for me. With PavTube, I easily transfer TiVo shows to AIC MOV and import it to iMovie for editing freely.
