What capturing software do you guys use?

hi there, was just wondering if anyone knew what software eztv uses to cap the
epiosde and stuff, i'm looking for one, also does anyone know what axxo uses,
both eztv and axxo have great video/sound quality and in relativly small files.
thanks

ps eztv i love you!

ok let me rephrase the question, does anyone know what software the other
sources use? or axxo?

time to put it into faq... i mean the program name or a capin tutorial

eztv has nothing to do with capping, so why should they have tutorial????

just go to doom9 dot org for tutorials.
scene rippers use various software depending on platform, preference etc.
virtualdub and avisynth scripting would be the most popular tools though.

axxo's source is dvds... rumor has it scene release dvdr's
nothing special considering the scene groups rip all the stuff he does as well
but still a lot of work on his part.

for scene groups its not so much the software as it is the hardware they use to
capture the transport streams (exact replica of broadcast).

- for usa pdtv or hdtv its usually ota hdtv pci cards.
- for dsr its often dtv-s card ripping satellite or digital cable qam signals
- rips labeled tvrip (aka analog) is a ripping method sadly a lot of american's
are use to (while avg uk or au ripper does pdtv, dsr) which is any tv pci card
with composite, s-video, or coaxial cable that rips what ever cable signal (like
basic cable or connection to cable out on vcr, sat box) and it rips at a user
defined bitrate and resolution. this isn't bad if done right but dsr is better.

normally software would come with the card or you can find it at sites like doom 9.
popular encoding software is generally
dvd2avi (or dgindex) .d2v project file >> avisynth script >> virtualdubmod
autogk can get the job done but not the best and is shamed upon on the scene
(and plenty of skilled encoders)
