ATV2000 TV viewing and capture application for analog tuners using VfW or WDM drivers. Supports teletext, video and audio filtering, deinterlace, image capture and more.
ATV2000 is new generation of TV viewing and capture application based on the old ATV, but with a reworked core. All is build around the new control panel, which provides tuning, video and audio control. Other parts are Video for Window (VfW) and WDM based capture parts with On Screen Display (OSD), but it can coexist with any other capture application like PowerVCR, Windows Media Encoder etc., but giving better TV control. Other advantages are teletext, capture profiles, scheduler, video filters, deinterlace, image capture and more. It works under Windows 95/98/ME and Windows 2000/XP. Windows NT4 is not supported (due to lack of DirectX). Features:
- Skins - ATV2000 support skins, if
you are interested in creating one, it is VERY simple, just go to your
paint program (paint shop pro etc.) and make the new image, then create
new file name.skn and adjust button and display positions on top of it.
it's easy. (please send it to me to publish, thx) Want
more skins?
- Icons - You can assign a TV icon
to any TV station, just select from the included icons or create you
