Does the Job, and is a tiny program.
julesdingle- Pros
- Really straightforward, will record any video input in a straightforward way. It's tiny. iMovie or my DV camera chopped up footage into dozens of tiny clips and presented them in the wrong order. This solved the problem.
- Cons
- Its not firewire but it is free.

Amazing ...

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just wanted to say that this little piece of software is still working with a Formac Studio TV with old firmware on an Intel iMac with 10.6. Formacs software sh*t isn't ready for 10.6 and denies to start without an expensive firmware update. Shame on you, Formac.
Fills a real need

works great

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have a cable tuner connected to my Intel iMac using a Sony DCR-TRV20 as analog to digital converter. The picture quality on the iMac even in full screen mode is great. Manual and timer controlled recording produced DV movies. Universal application.

Waited to receive hdtv tuner to write review, hd stations have better resolution than dvd 16 X 9 display option is great Tuner is plugged via s-video in Pinnacle's MovieBox DV Until today, i was using standard VHS tuner and results were better than eye-tv Thank you for such a fine utility, brightness adjustment would be welcomed Keep up the good work
Excellent.

(Thought the software was very poor - kept crashing!)...My faith was restored - excellent software that actually works! Far better than Formacs' own. Well done - most excellent! :)
Wow brilliant!!!

Make sure the device is connected and powered on and then try again" Help! I have tried all of the freeware recorders andcan't get ANY OF THEM TO WORK! HELP!!

In window mode (not full screen), the sreen can go sleeping after some time because of the settings in the energy saver preferencepane. I wish one day the screen could stay at full light when watching the video in window mode. What else to add ? Maybe Less processor usage Also, the ability to work with some video compression app could be nice (mencoder, ffmpeg, or ffmpegX, or quicktime). In that way, In one step, we could have a "Divx" from the recording. Great job !
