Real-time MPEG-1 Recording with High Video Quality

PowerVCR captures raw video data from any analog-to-digital video capture devices (including TV Tuner) or PC cameras into MPEG-1 format file directly to MPEG file at standard CIF (352x288) and SIF (352x240) video resolution.

Currently, most digital video recording process requires raw video to be first captured into uncompressed AVI format files, then converted into MPEG-1 format in a no-real time process. CyberLink PowerVCR's superior compressed ability provides one-step recording to MPEG-1 video without the need of transferring from AVI files that saves users much time and disk spaces.
