AIW Radeon question

[starwarsdad]

Can the AIW Radeon record multiple, simultaneous shows? I have played around in the settings and do not see a way to. Did I overlook it, or does the card not support simultaneous recording?

Thanks!

I doubt it but you can try ATI's tech support.

no it's not possible, you can record multiple but no simultaneous. Computers are just now getting enough juice to record 1 show, you'd need some serious power for two simultaneous.

Single tuner == single show

Good point! Hadn't thought about that.

On processing power though, I have not noticed a substantial amount of CPU/RAM utilization while recording with the AIW. Granted I am running a XP1600, but is the speed of today's machines still a bottle neck for this sort of use?

Thanks!

if you start recording at higher and higher resolutions, you'll notice "frames dropped". At that point, you know you don't have enough CPU/Memory power to record at that resolution and need more.
