GrafCorder is basically Anders Nolberger's
SageGraphRecorder (the brain) transplanted on Howard Gilbert's
HDHRcorder (the body).
The idea is that you use
GraphEdit (like from
here), in order to make a simple .GRF file (first picture), which will allow you to "dump to a file" (for example using the
DVBPortal HDTV Reference Dump Filter), from whichever device you want to record... Personally, I use it to perform Firewire recordings, since VLC refuses to record through the firewire port of my PACE 551HD and CapDVHS is just not flexible enough...
Use the format:
GraphCorder "myGraf.grf" 20:59:59 "D:\Video\myFile.TP"
where:
"myGraf.grf" = The fully qualified simple GraphEdit file (using a Dump filter for the saved file).
20:59:59 = end time or time in minutes (1-999).
"D:\Video\myFile.TP" = The fully qualified output file name.
While you might be able to make a .GRF file for DVB or unencrypted QAM channels, keep in mind that the channel tuning might be a whole different story (I use Tim M. Moore's channel.exe for firewire)...
