A preview release of the coming TiVo Desktop 2.4 for Windows is now available for download. If you have a Series3, this includes the promised HD Photo viewer. Photos are now converted to 1280x720 for the S3, instead of being converted to SD resolution (I think the old photo app was 640x480).

2.4 also includes auto-transcode for other video formats into MPEG-2 for the TiVo. The details state that Windows Media (.wmv), QuickTime (.mov), MPEG-4/H.264, and MPEG-2 videos are supported. This feature does require a TiVo Desktop Plus key.

This is a preview release, which puts it somewhere between 'beta' and 'final release'. You can always remove it and reinstall 2.3a if you have problems.
