CCTVINSTALLER 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Hi Guys, I was wondering if this was possible, i want to record a TV program using one of my Geovision systems (The apprentice ! I have a gv650, so i'll have one channel connected, ive managed to get the video and audio recording using a scart lead. Now here's the problem, Geovision records in 5 minute intervals, how would i go about merging all the video and audio files in one file? I know i could just get a DVD recorder, but im a Brit and i like making life difficult for myself , any suggestions would be appreciated, Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sweet deal for HD freaks, when you consider the only HD DVR alternative is buying a DTV box for around $1000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cooperman 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Herminshs, The programm CCTV wants to record is called "The Apprentice". A gentleman by the name of Alan Sugar (Sir Alan actually), is currently participating in a reality TV show where each week he fires a would be apprentice that doesn't quite make the grade. The show started off with (I think) 6 guys and 6 gals, and at the end of the run, the one who is left standing will get a job working for Sir Alan. He originally made his fortune in the early '80's by launching a computer company called Amstrad Electronics (at that time, he was to computers in the UK, what Apple was in the States). As a 'no nonsense' businessman, his current fortune is estimated at something in excess of US$ 1.25bn. I guess some jokes just kind of lose it in translation ... And yes, as far as I am aware, Packard Bell are alive and kicking this side of the pond, unlike Tivo, which I have yet to encounter other than by reputation.

Cooperman 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Judge for yourself http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/ Incidentally, I just remembered that the name Amstrad was from Alan M. Sugar Trading. Might be useful for any fellow Brits if it comes up in a pub quiz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
