PVR For Linux

amix writes "After two years of hard work the final 1.0 of VDR (Video Disk Recorder) has been released under the GPL. VDR is Linux based VCR software for digital TV cards (DVB, the Linux driver supports cable, sat and terrestrial cards), the new TV standard in Europe and also in use at several places in the United States. VDR is a fully networkable digital video recorder (implemented as daemon on port 2001) with optional MP3, DVD and 'MPlayer' based video-codec replay plus much more. It features "timeshifting", an incredibly comfortable OSD, functions to make editing/cleaning-up the streams easier and is controllable by LIRC, keyboard, telnet/ssh, WWW (cgi) or dedicated utilities. It can be used natively on a TV, with standard v4l tools or the KVDR KDE frontend.. You have an old PC? Add one (up to four) DVB card and you got a cheap multimedia center. Here are the screenshots. " A very impressive project indeed.

Do you even know any europeans? I think you're the one who needs to do some growing up.

Dude, that is so cool:

...my (then) youngest daughter, about a year old, take a DVD out of it's case, put the case back on the rack, toddle over to the computer, and slide the disc into the crack between the top of the DVD-ROM and the computer chassis.

Encourage that. Teach her how to put them in the right way. Only one year old! I was twelve when I got into computers. 2-3 years old is perfect for languages, when kids are bilinguals (or more). Imagine what she could create if she learned to speak computer languages in the same timeframe she learned to speak human languages.

Just look at it this way: she's another experiment. ;-)
