In this section, you'll find more information on additional utilities or ideas for making a VCR
work under Linux.
We need a wrapper program that provides us with the ability to do the following things (from a main menu)
- Archive recorded shows to CDR/CDRW/DVDRAM
- Play Recorded shows (From hard disk or prompt for the media!)
- Set record times for recording shows - use tvguide.com as a source for showtimes. A program
that accesses tvguide.com for showtimes is:
tvguide.com perl program
- Be fully configurable to used preferred recorder/player.
- See
Kvdr as a possible place to start.
- Serge Wroclawski - 200mhz CPU is not fast enough.
- Brian Hayward - 900mhz Duron is fast enough.
- Stephen Moore - 500mhz Celeron CPU is not fast enough.
- Describe recording from FM Tuner (radio) card and piping it to oggvorbiz or mp3encoder.
- Cable Descramblers:
fscktv and
CableTV.
- Figure out how to implement
VCR+
- Encode audio as mp3 instead of PCM. This is reported to shrink 1hr of video from 420mb to
about 140mb! remenyi (at) ace-net.com.au suggested
Virtual Dub
Unfortunately this is a windows program, if anyone can provide instructions on how to do this under
linux, I will include it.
- Check out the
Video Disk Recorder Project -
build your own digital satellite receiver.
- Check out the
LinuxTV project.
- A Menu Driven Video Recorder:
