ATV2000

ATV2000 is freeware TV viewing application for Microsoftá Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 and XP operating systems. It can be used for capture video too. Both old Video for Windows (VfW) and DirectShow (with WDM drivers) interface are supported. It is recommended to use it in conjuction with ARC2000 Remote control with sheduler and AFM2000 - radio application.

ATV2000 is separated to parts, which are commonly (but not required) dependent on each other. The separation has advantage in greater stability and better peformance.

Control panel - this is heart of the whole application, it controls tunning, video source, audio switching and more. It can run alone or with any other application with some extra features not provided by ATV2000 (PowerVCR for capture MPEG video etc.)

WDM Capture - is used for viewing and capture video with DirectShow interface. You need WDM drivers for this to work and Windows 98SE or later. It is recommended to use this interface due to more functions implemented and greater stability of program and computer (it runs completly in 32-bit environment).

VfW Capture - is used for viewing and capture video with old Video for Windows interface. This interface was introduced in Windows 3.11 and uses 16-bits drivers on Windows 9x too, so i don't recommend it. In Windows 2000 is supported with VfWWDM mapper, which converts VfW calls to DirectShow, but don't have support for overlay video (However Hauppage has own Win2k drivers that works on VfW directly, it is good, but "blind branch" in developement).

Player - the player with external subtitles support

Capture panel - is used for displaying of capture information - format, time captured, frames dropped and captured, CPU usage and more. It is used by WDM and VfW Capture and Player.
