Archiving Content from a PVR?
ayden asks: "Now that the universe has conspired to keep me unemployed for the foreseeable future, I'm taking the time to fill in the gaps in my Babylon 5 collection thanks to the
SCI-FI channel. I'm frustrated the linear nature video tape and the problems associated with recording directly from broadcast to tape. It occurs to me that there has to be a better way. I've thought about using my ATI All In Wonder Radeon to record the program directly to my hard drive and editing the resulting file to remove commercials. Should I then record the file to video tape? Or would it be better to make a Video CD I could play back on my DVD player? Are there other options should I consider? How are people archiving shows from their Personal Video Recorders? What techniques are people using to accomplish these tasks?"
Is there anything on tv which is worth archiving? You are not going to watch Babylon 5 twice, or are you?
You say the universe is conspiring to keep you unemployed, yet what you want to do with your time is fill in gaps in your Babylon 5 collection?
What's wrong with this picture? Could it be that YOU are part of the conspiracy? Perhaps, say, the leader?
