In the immortal words of "Mark Beaver" <beaverm@corp.earthlink.net>... > What software is the most reliable for recording and playing back (not > necessarily the same) and the front end. Depends on your hardware. If you have a Hauppauge PVR 250/350 and John Wehle's driver port installed, then you can just use "dd" from the raw device and have a very clean MPEG2 stream. On the other hand, if you have a capture card based on the BrookTree chipsets, then you can use mencoder/mplayer or fxtv for viewing/capture and playback. > I've still considering my options for the project, and want to base my > info off of that. My personal recommendation is go for the Hauppauge cards, I have a PVR 350 and it just works beautifully. Also, try searching the list archives. This has been discussed quite a bit over the past year or so. Cheers Tim -- Tim Aslat <tim@spyderweb.com.au> Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au Phone: +61 0401088479
