Hi all, I record quite a bit on sky+ but im away from home a lot.

I have a haupage tv tuner card in a pc (xp) with composite input that I used to use to record freeview via media centre.

Im wondering what other software is out there (freeware if poss) that I could use to record video manually that I feed in from my sky+ box so I can take the programs with me when im away, media center on xp seems a bit long winded?

thanks in advance
 
thanks asim, just gave it a whirl it, it appears to work but doesnt play back on other machines and is about 1gb per minute of film - is there a simple way to compress into another format?
 
thanks mate, it looks so long-winded though :( I was hoping for something I could just hit record, go away and do something then come back, load onto memory stick and take away with me
 
thing is the hauppage card was a factory fitted so didnt come with any specialized software.

spose I could convert the recorded tv afterwards. I cant seem to work out how to get Virtualdub to encode on the fly?
