WinDVR 3

WinDVR 3 lets your PC function as a digital video recorder/ personal video recorder, so you can watch TV, record it, and burn it to disc - all that the same time! You don't even have to be there; WinDVR 3 can wake up your computer when it's time to record a show, then shut down all by itself when finished.

WinDVR 3 compresses your shows into high quality MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files in real-time. MPEG-1 video is similar in quality to VHS and you can fit about an hour of MPEG-1 video on a CD. MPEG-2 is what DVDs are made out of, so the video quality is superb. You can fit roughly 3 hours of MPEG-2 video on a DVD, but only about 15 minutes on a CD - MPEG-2 video is much larger than MPEG-1. All of WinDVR-encoded files can be played back in crystal clear color with InterVideo’s WinDVD, the Microsoft Media Player and other popular MPEG video playback products. Learn more...
