I use WinDVR by InterVideo. I use it for my TV tuner, but the program that came with it has terrible quality. WinDVR does the trick for any situation.

ok, I downloaded it… and it works very well! But when I go to record video… and then playback in Windows Media it says error downloading codec… then takes a couple of seocnds and plays anyways?

What codec does it use?? or what should i set it to record at?

Well, it’s only natural that you should already have the basic XVID and DIVX codecs installed although I doubt it uses it. Goto setup and goto the Record tab. Play around in there, most of the codecs are MPEG, so it shouldn’t have a problem.

I’ve already done that. I have Xvid and all of them… what makes no sense, it says error downloading codec… but then it plays it anyway?!

and I put it into this program I have to see what codec it uses, and it doesnt even know

Well, try their WinDVD program, that’ll definitely play your recordings.

Also, get K-Lite Codec Pack, that has everything.
