Hi everyone! I promised the list I'd write more on this device as I found out more about the many features available through the software as I continued to learn how to use the system so here's something else which I've discovered.
With digital TV in Australia, viewers have access to an EPG (Electronic Programme guide), the Winfast system takes advantage of this EPG, you're supposed to be able to "click" on a programme of interest and the software automatically schedules this programme to be recorded at the appropriate time. Well I haven't worked out how to do that yet but what I have found out is that if you start a recording manually or schedule a recording to be made without specifying a file name for the recording, the Winfast software uses the EPG to formulate an appropriate filename. For example, let's look at Saturday's EPG in Melbourne Victoria, specifically Saturday afternoon and we see that ABC1 is broadcasting VFL football from 1 in the afternoon so if I manually started recording from that point or set the scheduler to start recording from that time or from any time during the duration of the VFL Football programme, without a specified filename, the Winfast software would automatically save the recorded content to a file with a given date and time plus the name of the programme as gathered from the EPg, the file name would look something like this, "Video 2008-06-09 ABC VFL Football.mpg". Lots more to discover yet <smile> but unfortunately my playtime is severely restricted as I'm looking after a sick Mother and I'm spending a lot of time away from home, commuting to Merimbula and back etc but I'll get there eventually <smile>. -- Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" phone (+61 3) 9005 8589 Fax (+61 3) 9743 7954 Mobile/SMS (+61 418) 773 532 MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype callto:grtdane12 ****************************** Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
