Can DScaler be used to capture ????

[marvel2020]

Guys i wanna know please, if this is truly amazing programme can be used to Capture.

I can't see any settings in it, like there is in VDUB but i could be missing something.

If it can, how do you go about setting it up for capturing.


Please, any help would be most welcomed

Thx in advance

Can I record video to my hard disk with DScaler?
Sort of. DScaler now handles basic recording and playback of specifically-formatted AVI files using a compression codec of your choice. The end goal being a "time shifting" feature (i.e. pausing of live TV) and not a generic video file processor. In other words, it handles only the video files that it creates itself for this purpose. This is all currently under construction.

DScaler isn't intended to be an all-in-one desktop video utility. The development team has chosen to concentrate on making it the best video processor it can be.

If you want to record video, there are lots of alternatives to choose from, such as:

VirtualDub, an open-source desktop video application, can capture as well as edit and post-process video.
ShowShifter for TiVo-like features such as an integrated program guide and pausing of live TV.
AVI_IO is a video recording application that specializes in keeping audio locked to video even in the face of dropped frames.
Of course, if you want to improve DScaler's video recording, there's nothing stopping you! That's what open source is all about. (end of quote)
