[ILUG] [May be OT, May not] Video recoding/transcoding

[Tomek]

Hi,

What's the output format of the Hauppauge?

Anyhow, there are many free and non-free tools to transcode and author.
I prefer free AviDemux (as transcoder) but I am not saying it is the
best nor very user-friendly. There are also many GUIs for free
dvdauthor (as DVD authoring app), e.g. dvdstyler.

You can look at this thread:

And you can find a lot of information on this web page:

Best regards,

Tomek
