Windows DVR software?

[kevin]

Can anyone recommend good Windows DVR software for capturing from an ATI Wonder card?

I don't have any personal experience with it but BeyondTV from Snapstream has a free trial.

I can't recommend any particular software, but I can recommend what I consider to be the best place to ask:

AV Science Forum: Home Theater Computers

I've learned a lot over there.

This is what I use

Have you tried MediaPortal? It's open source, and very, very good.

Just ensure your capture card is supported.

ETA -
I have been using Intervideo WinDVR and that worked well with my capture card running on a Philips SA7134 chip. Using MediaPortal now because it so slick.

WinDVR also worked well, except capturing video from the composite input used to drop frames if the source were NTSC (capturing to PAL) Otherwise it was great. Never captured video with MediaPortal yet.

Capture NTSC to NTSC and convert to PAL later. Saves worrying and lost frames. Voice of experience.

I use GB-PVR, which is free. Works with a lot of tuners, might work with yours, too.

I use Cinelerra. It works with any capture card supported under Linux.

This means you would need X.org>7.0 or GATOS.
