How to capture in compressed avi

[pirates1323]

I had beforely installed some software or codec........I don't remember.......through which I can capture directly into compressed avi in T.V tuner. Now I have installed divx pro.. and dr.divx.....can I capture my T.V programs into compressed avi.......or any software....I don't know if it had been discussed earlier........... :roll:

There must be a option in your TV veiwing software...
To set the format of saved files... Just select divx from there....

Which software are you using??

[Sourabh]

one can use Chris Tv and MediaPortal 0.1.0.8 with the right plugins to capture in most formats

with Dr Divx u can select the capture from camera or video device option, set the settings, and give the time duration of the clip u want to catch and record it in divx as per ur requirements

NO No No I want any codec of compressed avi not chris tv.........it sucks...........I have frontech T.V tuner card.........in this I can only record in uncompressed avi..........this eats all my hard disk..........so any add ons......or something...not softwares actually...........

No matter which tv uner card U got, it must be using a software to view TV, Frontech mostly gives WinDVR, so in this case WinDVR will be your TV Viewing software

plz tell us the software U use, chrisTV, Media Portal are such, I use media portal 0.1.10 & record the TV in DivX Format with 4 MB Bitrate & 640X480 after that depending on requirment I process it under post production

U are advised to leave the properity software from frontech, as it will be limited on features, if possible & working go for WinDVR even that's good as it can compress to high quality mpeg2

I have installed InterVideo WinDVR 3, it is now set to:

[NTSC DVD]
Format: MPEG-2 DVD

Audio:
Format: Dolby Digital
Sampling Rate: 48.0 kHz 16-bit Stereo
Bit Rate: 384 KBits/sec

Video:
Size: 720x480
Frame Rate: 29.97 frames/sec
Bit Rate: 7200 KBits/sec

Total:
Bit Rate: 7878 KBits/sec

Is this OK or if I need to change because record time is only 150 min...
