Personal Video Recorder
The Personal Video Recorder provides simple controls and
powerful recording options. You can record a clip of full-
motion video and audio from your video source and save it as an
MPEG, AVI, VCR, or WMV file. You can play recorded files
in the File Player (see File Player on page 101.) Advanced
time-lapse and motion-triggered recording modes are available.
VideoSoap
, ATI’s custom video noise reduction system, lets
you remove noise that was in the original content or analog
noise introduced as a result of poor transmission, substandard
cabling, or poor analog-to-digital conversion (see Using
VideoSoap on page 43).
The Schedule feature lets you record TV programs on the dates
and times you specify (see Schedule on page 110).
To start the Personal Video Recorder
When you record video from TV (see To record a clip of
video and audio on page 35), the Personal Video
Recorder opens automatically. If you want the Personal Video
Recorder to prompt you before recording, click the Prompt
before Recording checkbox in the Personal Video Recorder
tab of the TV Player Setup page (see Personal Video Recorder
settings on page 40).
VideoSoap is not available with ALL-IN-WONDER VE
cards.
Because TV-On-Demand (see page 36) records to
your hard drive, you cannot use the Personal Video
Recorder in TV-On-Demand mode. Instead, use the
Export function (see page 38) when you are in
TV-on-Demand mode.
