Often the videos won't play due to missing codec files. No idea what they actually are, but the ones I found were called something like "K-lite pack" or something to that effect. They installed kind of like a program, and gave WMP the ability to decode the .tivo files.
As I understand, the paid version of tivo desktop includes more codecs, but I wasn't going to pay to find out if they worked or not.
