  • Software Capturing

    Hello,

    I just purchased a Pinnacle PC-TV this week. I currently live in a 8'10' dorm room and decided that a $45 tv-tuner was a better investment (money and space) than an actual TV.

    Anyways, I got it for the sole purpose of watching TV, but after playing with it and reading up, I am curious about what sort of stuff I can accomplish with video capture using software only.

    What frame-rate, resolution, etc etc should I strive for, or expect. What are some good free/shareware programs to use, especially codecs? If it ends up I can't do a damn thing with this setup, then oh well, because I really didn't intend to. I am just curious about what sort of advice I could get to squeeze some performance out of this thing.

    system:
    Celeron: 400(66mhz)
    Ram: 320meg (<--gotta love ubid.com, $150)
    HD: Seagate 7200rpm (udma33)
    VD: V3-3000agp

    I also have a Matrox G200 in a box someplace.

    Thanks,

    -Erik
