WinTV Recording Manager
The purpose of this program is to replace WinTV's bundled scheduling
program. This program works independently of WinTV's bundled scheduler.
It is superior to WinTV's program in every way except one.
You must
leave the program running continuously or it will not record. This is a
significant rewrite of my original program, WinTV Program Scheduler.
WinTV Recording Manager has the following features:
- Uses WinTV2000, WinTVCap or GBrecord for recording.
- No silly limit on the number of shows you can record.
- Allows you to set the recording quality for each show separately.
- Start all recordings several seconds before the "official" start
time and end a couple seconds after. Useful for networks whose shows
tend to start 20 to 30 seconds early.
- Can imports recordings from Hauppauge's scheduler and compatible things (such as Titan TV).
- Allows passing additional command line arguments to WinTVCap
or GBRecord on a show by show basis (for using special prefilter, audio
or other settings).
- Can limit the number of shows in the capture folder by moving the
oldest ones to the recycle bin
- Can automatically create free space for new recordings or other things by
emptying the recycle bin and/or deleting old shows.
- Can store specified shows in their own folder. These
shows must be deleted manually so they are never "accidentally"
deleted by the program.
- Integrated Graphical Interface for managing shows. The interface has a special mode appropriate for use on a TV.
- User configurable menu for launching external programs.
- Changes WinTV2000 recording information directly in the registry.
- Can automatically close programs that interfere with recording.
- Can restart the computer before a recording if it has been running a long time.
The program can now be downloaded from this website.
