MPEG2 Capture Software?

[DarkMorford]

I recently purchased a KWorld DVD Maker USB 2.0 capture device. It came with CyberLink PowerDirector, but I'd like to find a simpler, less bloated capture program to use with it. The DVD Maker's specs page states that it "Supports Real-Time Video Recording in Mpeg Formats," which I take to mean it has a hardware encoder on board. I want a program that will capture the MPEG stream directly without re-encoding it on the fly. VirtualDub is usually my go-to video app, but if it supports a direct capture I can't find the setting for it.

Try: VH CAPTURE (freeware) and POT PLAYER (freeware)

No, the KWorld DVD Maker USB 2.0 uses software encoding and probably sends uncompressed video and audio streams over USB 2.0. It only captures MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 video with Cyberlink's software or similar installed. You would need to find a compatible MPEG-2 encoder to attempt using Virtualdub as your capture software for direct to MPEG-2 capture.

it's the same as a pinnacle dazzle and some ezcaps. they use em28xx chips. you can software capture in formats that are in dvd spec size 720x480, etc.
