It's currently beta but works for me; anyone who wishes to help me test it is encouraged to give it a shot. To use it, you simply hook up your Mac to your video tuner with a FireWire cable, then run clover with the following options:
- -c channel_number
- -d duration_in_minutes
- -o output_filename
- -v -- verbose mode, if you wish to see what it's doing
It should be noted that some channels, such as HBO or HD on Demand from your cable company, will be encrypted. While you will be able to dump these files to disk, you will not be able to view them. However, for broadcast channels that are unencrypted, this works great; it can even record HD content with AC3 audio without breaking a sweat.
[robg adds: I can't test this app, but it sounds pretty useful if you've got a FireWire cable box.]
