I just got my tv capture card and it works pretty good but the software doesn't seem to be very good. It came with windvr 2.0 and windvr 3.0 cost $70!!! So I was wondering if there was any better and free software to use.
The card I got was this one I was also wondering if it was a decent card or should I have gotten a better one? Great topic.you`ve just hit the red spot.many of us have a tv tuner.and many of us tried in vane to find a good software for tv recording. I`ve always had tv-tuners. And have always tried to find the best recording software.for tv-tuners. My best choice will be iuvcr.you`ll find it on google.trial of course.
This software detects. Any tv-tuner.from 848 series, 878 series.to the most recently 883 series. And of course there is virtual dub and many others.but i like iuvcr for recording.and virtual dub for editing. Well i can record if i use the remote for some reason but it still crashes randomly.
It doesn't record audio though and it records too narrow at whatever settings I try. It's a very bad program and the site doesnt update because they made new version. Is there any good free programs or do i have to buy it? Well good programs are never free my friend. Try this trial iuvcr.i think it reached 4.13.xx.and if you like it you buy it also i recomend new drivers. I`m not sure i had a tv tuner with original drivers working perfectly:tongue. Well i finally got some time to try out some programs.
I couldnt get any of them to work but the mythtv looked pretty good. But when i tryed to download it, I got a bunch of files and it said I had to confire myself or something. Does it have a regular install and if so can I please have link? I haven't really tried anything with the audio problem because it could just be the program. Also, does anyone know how to clean up the quality?
My cable is split for my other room so the qualitys not too great.
The very best tuner TV Card is the Hauppauge Colossus 2 PCI. Requiring just a single PCIe x1 or x16 slot, the feature-rich Colossus 2 is capable of recording videos directly from cable TV, satellite receivers and DVRs, as well as PlayStation 3/4 or the Xbox One or 360. With H.264 compression, the Colossus 2 records at HD resolutions up to 1080p all while storing data on your PC hard disk where space is limited only by the size of your own hard drive. Additionally, live streaming on applications such as Twitch and YouTube with Hauppauge’s StreamEez features add another layer of video game recording and playback. With many TV tuner sticks, PC performance during playback and recording can often be a concern, but Hauppauge addresses this with video compression handled directly inside the Colossus 2 to offset any potential impact to PC performance.
Audio quality is also not affected, thanks to the optical audio input that delivers standout audio quality from both video game playback and live TV broadcasts. Lastly, the final benefit of almost unlimited storage over a storage-limited DVR helps make the Hauppauge exceptionally well-valued. If you run out of storage on the PC with video, offload it to an external or cloud-based drive and carry on with new recordings.
It’s that simple. If watching, pausing and recording up to four ATSC or clear QAM HD TV programs at the same time catches your eye, the Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD PCI express TV tuner card is exactly what you’re looking for. For use with computers capable of fitting a half-height PCI express board, the Hauppauge works inside both full and half height PCs with minimal installation and setup.
The included remote control comes with a one-meter infrared receiver cable for easily plugging into television, so it's ready to work right out of the box. Beyond controlling playback from the comfort of your couch, the actual capturing is done via third-party programming or with Microsoft’s own Windows Media Center that’s active on Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Support for all ATSC formats with four ATSC over-the-air digital TV tuners onboard is included, so the Hauppauge won't miss a beat and can handily grab programming that’s currently being broadcast. If you’re looking for a Mac-centric video card, it’s likely that you aren’t looking for a coax-to-USB situation. Whether you’re streaming video games, TV, film, or otherwise, you need something compatible with the latest video and streaming software. That’s where this option from DIGITNOW comes in. It connects to video via HDMI and then connects through to your computer via USB 3.0 (though it does support 2.0, as well). The USB connectivity is, according to the manufacturer, pretty plug-and-play, and won’t require you to track down and install some cumbersome driver software. The HDMI supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and it does so in a smooth, reliable way (with less risk of cutouts).
They also claim to support auto-deinterlacing for increased compatibility. It’ll work with your Mac of course, but it also supports PC and Linux devices and has been designed for everything from Xbox One to PS4 Pro all the way to standard HD television streaming. Plus, it does it all in a footprint less than the size of standard credit card.
