hd install and tv card recording
hi i have installed knoppix 6.2 dvd on my hd
i have analog tv card pinnacle and processor pentium 4 2.8 GHz and small 40 Gb HDD
what would be the easiest way to record tv shows ?
i tried installing myth tv but with no success
gtk - record my desktop makes my computer too slow and not useful
on windows mpeg 2 recording was the best possible encoding - it had relatively good compression and
was not so heavy for p4 2.8 GHz. is there some equivalent for linux of pinnacle TV center or Cyberlink Powercinema?
i did not try but is it possible that tv center or powercinema would run in wine and will they have access to the tv card in wine ?
or perhaps there are other free video recording software which is native to linux or will run in wine?
thanks
best regards
My first move would be to change to 6.2.1 or 6.3
My first move would be to change to 6.2.1 or 6.3. 6.2 has known pronlems with the kernel, possibly necessitating full kernel recompile for module preparation. (I had to do that.)
In a case of unknown hardware/software combinations, I would probably not have started with Knoppix at all, but rather used a distro known to work in actual case. But, if a setup works under Debian, chances are quite good you can get in to work with Knoppix. Google for experiences with your exact Pinnacle model (I don't think they are all created equal, Linux-wise).
