on ubuntu 9.10 I use tv time to watch my tv on a old ATI pci wonder ve card , is their a way I can record what I watch?

It might be a little heavy for you, mythtv does that. I believe vlc can as well.

I develop a Firefox extension, called FoxMediaCenter (http://fmc.isgreat.org), that allows you to record TV and watch the recording on the fly, among other things.

Kaffine - works on Ubuntu

In xine you can press F1 while watching program. It will save your video in mpeg2 file.

well I tried the Kaffine and Xine both failed to detect my card. I do like the Xine it has a very nice gui, I will have to try MythTV again it's been a while and it was a little more then what I really want just veiw click record like WinDVR I use on XP boot, but thanks for the replies.

I installed your plug in and all the required stuff it asked but still dont, see how to record from tvtime?

mplayer and mencoder will do this for analog or dvb. Kaffiene will only do dvb tv.

You can create a script where mplayer will dump the stream (dvb) or mencoder will record the analog tv, and then use mplayer again to view what you have recorded (you'll need a little delay and some cache!)

Open the playlist manager and click the record button, select the recorder settings and click OK. A new entry will be displayed in the PVR list. Select it and click play.

Right-click on a toolbar, select "Customize" than drag the FoxMediaCenter button to the bar. This is demonstrated here (http://fmc.isgreat.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47:vt30201&catid=12:vt302&Itemid=112). The video tutorials (http://fmc.isgreat.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=12&Itemid=112) on the site are for FoxMediaCenter version 3.0.2. So some things, like the recorder, has changed, but most of the interface and functionality is the same. I will publish new tutorials for the next version release.
