Enable Web TV for Windows

ALL-IN-WONDER 128's Digital VCR, featuring real-time powerful software video compression lets you use your PC to record your favorite TV shows without filling your entire hard-drive. The Digital VCR uses the ATI VCR 2.0 codec to empower your Pentium II™ processor to compress video on-the-fly, as you're viewing it. This allows you to capture up to 9 times more video than ever before, using the same amount of disk space!

Revolutionary Video capabilities

Enjoy true color video in any graphics mode and full-frame rate playback in Windows 95 or Windows 98 as if you were watching it on your TV thanks to the Scaling Video Overlay.

ALL-IN-WONDER 128 also supports popular video conferencing packages through Video for Windows as well as WDM/DirectShow capture driver support.

Built-in hardware DVD
