TV Tuner question?

[Kanecnc]

I have a question, I don't know if it really fits in this category but I didn't know where else to place it.

I was wondering for all of you experienced tv tuner folks out there if there was a nifty program that rips in coming video from lets say a TV via TV Tuner and stores the video in a nice format such as mpeg or avi.

Also is there a program that on top of that which can convert the compressed file into a dvd format and burn it to a disk? If not thats ok because I have Nero which can take care of it but if there was a program out there that did all that then that would be great.

Almost all modern tuner cards come with tuner programs that at least rip in MPEG2. I believe even Windows Media Center uses this to record.

Nero comes with a program that will automatically convert your video files into DVD. You can specify how high the bitrate you want it to be converted to and what size disc it should fit on. Also it has some other DVD authoring tools, such as menu building, etc.
