Re: Record TV

Hi Alain,

Did you check if you can actually play other divx files
correctly? I've noticed that some sound card drivers (namely
Soundblaster AWE 64 - es1370) produce a delay in sound when
playing back divx movies, while the movie is perfectly
sinchronized (checked on other machines). 

If that's not the case, give a try to avicap, it's really
nice...

Good luck
          Eduard
