Features: - TV and Digital Video Recording Capabilities
PowerVCR II is the fastest software encoder available. It can record 320x240 resolution video in real-time on a Pentium II 350, and 720x480 resolution on a Pentium III 650. It encodes multiplexed video/audio files faster than any other encoder available on the market today. PowerVCR II is designed to perform real-time, high quality, MPEG-1 (VCD) and 2 (DVD) video recording, directly from any video source (such as TV tuners, VCRs, DV camcorders, camcorders, and PC cameras) through video capture devices. - Pre-Scheduled TV Recording
With Pre-Scheduled TV Recording functions you can easily set the time, date, and channel of the TV program you want to record. You can even set PowerVCR II so it records every program in a series of shows. - Time Shifting Playback
The Time Shifting feature adds another powerful element to PowerVCR II. This feature allows you to play and record at the same time. Thus, you have the ability to record a program, leave for a period of time, then come back and watch what you've missed, while the program is still being recorded. Say you usually get home at 8:00 PM but your favorite music group is airing a live concert on TV starting at 7:30 PM. You know you can schedule PowerVCR II to record it, but you'd like to start watching the concert from the beginning when you get home. With Time Shifting you can! You can even fast forward over commercials to catch up to the live broadcast. All this can be done without interrupting the recording. - DVD Video File Recording
With PowerVCR II you can even start to enter the exciting world of making DVD's by recording in a compatible format. The video that is recorded can be done directly in, or converted to MPEG-2 (DVD format). After this, you can take advantage of a DVD Authoring Tool, and create your own DVD titles. - Video File Conversion
Depending on the situation, you may want to convert some existing AVI files to MPEG or transfer your VCD movie files to MPEG-2 (DVD) format. PowerVCR II allows you to convert your video file formats in a number of ways, providing maximum flexibility. Format conversion can go from AVI files to either MPEG-1 or 2 format, DAT files to MPEG-1, and from MPEG-1 to MPEG-2. - Video Cut and Merge
PowerVCR II features video cut and merge functions allowing you to edit recorded video into meaningful stories. You can easily cut-out and trim various portions of unwanted video footage, such as TV commercials. You can also merge multiple video clips into one single video file. This is great if you have several separate video files that you want to merge into a single video file. - i-Power: Gateway to the Web
i-Power is the gateway to PowerVCR II's Desktop Portal Page (DV Entertainment Center), providing you with a full gamut of informational articles related to digital video, news updates, Online TV Guides, and much more. i-Power offers you a wealth of information to make your recording experience complete. - CyberEPG
CyberEPG (PowerVCR II's Internet Electronic Program Guide), which is accessed through i-Power in the DV Entertainment Center, provides you with the most up-to-date TV program listing information. Here are just a couple of its many benefits: - One-click Scheduled Recording. You can schedule recording commands for your favorite programs just by a few simple clicks of the mouse. Plus, in addition to setting a recording schedule for a specific program, you may even adjust the setting to record several programs in a series.
- Quick and Easy Show Locator. CyberEPG offers users the most convenient way to find their favorite shows. Users can search by show title, name of a specific actor/actress, director, etc.
