Features
Advanced DV Camcorder support
With PowerVCR II you will have multiple advanced tools for Digital Video
manipulation at your disposal:
- Unique and Ultra-Fast DV Transcoder, Encodes DV as an MPEG File in
Real-time: With CyberLink's ultra-fast DV transcoding engine (not available on
any other product), PowerVCRII allows you to encode DV as an MPEG file
directly, and in real-time. This saves time by allowing you to avoid the added
step of transferring from DV to AVI to MPEG, and also saves precious hard disk
space (a standard DV formatted AVI file size is 36 Mbps, where as DVD-quality
MPEG-2 is around 4 to 6 Mbps)
- Convenient DV Camcorder Manipulation and File Conversion: You are able to
select certain sections of the video on the DV tape using PowerVCR II's user
interface, so you can easily convert them to MPEG files in a batch. Therefore,
there is no need for you to hassle with adjusting the DV camcorder to select
video sections.
- Live Display and Capture of DV: You can either view their DV files on
PowerVCR II directly, or record the contents as a pre-defined MPEG profile.
Instant TV replay
With PowerVCR II's Instant Replay feature, you can pause, and rewind live
television, as well as watch in slow motion, and view instant replays. So, if
you are watching your favorite TV program and the phone rings, you can just hit
the "Pause" button and freeze the action for a period of time, and
then pick up right where you left off. Or if you are watching a basketball game
and you just saw an amazing play, you can rewind back and watch it over again
(several times if you wish). When you are finished just fastforward to catch up
to the live TV broadcast. Note: Instant TV Replay is different from Time
Shifting in that you don't need to record the program to use this feature. Just
watch the TV program in Instant Replay mode.
Multi-channel preview
With this unique feature, you have a convenient way to preview all of the
currently broadcasted programs on available channels. You will be able to see a
thumbnail video image of the program playing on each of the channels you are
able to receive. Once you have decide to watch a particular program, you just
need to double click the image and you will be able to watch it, and record if
you choose, in full screen view.
Playlist video playback
PowerVCR II will record MPEG video directly from any selected video source and
save the file. However, once the target file size is over 600MB, PowerVCR II
automatically creates a new video file for that segment. It will then keep
recording and each time the file size exceeds 600MB, a new file is created, in
association with the first file. This will help users to backup their video
files on other auxiliary storage devices, such as a re-writeable CD. PowerVCR
II provides a video file playlist, so that it even though the video is
separated into several files it seamlessly plays it back as one file. Thus,
users may enjoy a long movie without the hassles of having to open and close
several video files, and still save hard drive space.
Includes PowerDVD 3.0 (only in PowerVCR II Deluxe)
PowerVCR II Deluxe includes the latest version of the world acclaimed software
DVD player. PowerDVD 3.0 features unrivaled functions allowing you to view high
quality video and media-rich DVD contents on the PC.
TV and Digital video recording capabilities
PowerVCR II is the fastest software encoder available. It can record 320x240
resolution video in real-time on a Pentium II 350, and 720x480 resolution on a
Pentium III 650. It encodes multiplexed video/audio files faster than any other
encoder available on the market today. PowerVCR II is designed to perform
real-time, high quality, MPEG-1 (VCD) and 2 (DVD) video recording, directly
from any video source (such as TV tuners, VCRs, DV camcorders, camcorders, and
PC cameras) through video capture devices.
Pre-scheduled TV recording
With Pre-Scheduled TV Recording functions you can easily set the time, date,
and channel of the TV program you want to record. You can even set PowerVCR II
so it records every program in a series of shows.
Time Shifting playback
The Time Shifting feature adds another powerful element to PowerVCR II. This
feature allows you to play and record at the same time. Thus, you have the
ability to record a program, leave for a period of time, then come back and
watch what you've missed, while the program is still being recorded. Say you
usually get home at 8:00 PM but your favorite music group is airing a life
concert on TV starting at 7:30 PM. You know you can schedule PowerVCR II to
record it, but you'd like to start watching the concert from the beginning when
you get home. With Time Shifting you can! You can even fast forward over
commercials to catch up to the live broadcast. All this can be done without
interrupting the recording.
DVD video file recording
With PowerVCR II you can even start to enter the exciting world of making DVD's
by recording in a compatible format. The video that is recorded can be done
directly in, or converted to MPEG-2 (DVD format). After this, you can take
advantage of a DVD Authoring Tool, and create your own DVD titles.
Video file conversion
Depending on the situation, you may want to convert some existing AVI files to
MPEG or transfer your VCD movie files to MPEG-2 (DVD) format. PowerVCR II
allows you to convert your video file formats in a number of ways, providing
maximum flexibility. Format conversion can go from AVI files to either MPEG-1
or 2 format, DAT files to MPEG-1, and from MPEG-1 to MPEG-2.
Video cut and merge
PowerVCR II features video cut and merge functions allowing you to edit
recorded video into meaningful stories. You can easily cut-out and trim various
portions of unwanted video footage, such as TV commercials. You can also merge
multiple video clips into one single video file. This is great if you have
several separate video files that you want to merge into a single video file.
