Hey, I have a question about optimizing my TV tuner cards performence.

I have a Hauppage Win TV go tuner card, I have just now recently started to record TV shows or specials off of my PC and I need your advice what is the best decoder I can use for good quality recording feed back ? also when I use windows media 9 VOD codec its already producing 30 seconds of video that are over 64 megabytes worth of space ! I would hate to think if I recorded a show and it would produce a file to damn big to even fit on a regular 80- minute CD-R and also my computer is slow but it can playback video files very well as long as it's not under pressure from other programs working in the background.

what is the best settings and decoder I could use for file size reduction and decent qualtiy

My system
433Mhz celeron
256 MB
40.9 gig HD (new) 33.3 gigs left
DVD-CDRW 48x (new)
CD-RW 48x
24 bits of color
windows xp home
SB 16 live
HyperLamer
<||bass> and this was the soloution i thought of that was guarinteed to piss off the greatest amount of people

An 80-minute CDR won't hold 80 minutes of video; it's measuring CD-format music.

Also, VLC can record; it's a bit complicated but it does a decent job. Go to Open Capture Device, and set it up however you want. Be sure to check the options Device Properties, Tuner Properties and Stream Output. Next to Stream Output, click Settings. Click File and fill in a filename. (Play Locally is also a good option if you want to see the video on your screen as you record.) For encapsulation method, you might want to experiment a bit, I found that only ASF would actually work. Finally, check off Video Codec if you want video and Audio Codec if you want sound, and click OK however many times, then press Play. The device properties and tuner properties will appear, and after you close both, it starts recording.

since you are using a celery celeron, you may have you such down all running programs an leave only windows and your recording software running. In addition, adding new RAM will help in the recording process as well as having a non-fragmented HD.
