does anyone know of any programs i can use to record movies from a VCR on, possibly put them in MPEG4 recording it through a tv tuner card?

no, just a TV tuner card, no video on it

VoodooTV thread right here. You might want to check it out. Could be just what you're looking for.
Preview of the card right here.
Hmm... perhaps I should ask. Do you need a tuner card as well or just the program?

Try PowerVCR by Cyberlink. It is good because it records directly to MPEG format instead of the disk hogging AVI!

don't you need a LOT of processing power to do decent MPEG encoding? I mean, a regular ol' TV card prolly can't cut it, and if you don't got the processor to handle it... you will get a small box of video....
inguyen is right. If u got weak CPU MPEG compression on the fly will eat it for lunch. Would not reccomend having RC5 or anything else running in the background...
The ATI Tv Wonder has the software ability to do it, and my PIII 550 does it fine on a normal sized window. Goes to MPEG1 which you could convert later.

The ATi TV-Wonder can record to MPEG1, and you can convert it.
The VoodooTV looks promising, but there isn'tmuch info on it yet.
The All-In-Wonder series can of course do it to as it uses the same TV-Tuner as the standalone TV-wonder.
And of course, MPEG encoding on the fly is very CPU heavy so make sure you have a nice fast CPU.

"The new VoodooTV card does MPEG2 on the fly (it hints that there is a MPEG processor on board."
really?? I didn't see that.. Does this mean that it includes a DVD player? or is this only for ENcoding?
anywho, becuase you are doing Mpeg4, it makes more sense to go for something that gives you an uncompressed file (therefor you don't have to DEcompress and then compress to Mp4). that 3dfx TV tuner though looks mighty sweet..

Under their suppot section, Hauppage has a link to 'WinVCR', which encodes to either MPEG, or AVI.
