WinAVI Video Capture is a powerful Windows program that enables users to capture and play various video recordings on their computer. In addition, they can burn the multimedia content to DVD discs.

Purpose

If you often watch TV, digital or web-cam videos, then you might need a dedicated utility that is capable of recording the live feed. This application was designed specifically for this task. It features a simple graphical user interface, accessible to both professionals and novices.

General notes

It is necessary to mention that the tool is compatible with a wide range of video sources. For example, you are able to view online television stations, digital videos, web-cam feeds and many other audio-video devices.

Moreover, the utility can save the videos in different file formats, including the following:

AVI;
WMV;

It is also possible to burn these items to DVD, SVCD or VCD discs. If you need a dedicated tool for playing back the latter format, you may use X VCD Player.
