Agreed. It could have been better.
Any timer program which can generate a command-line and call another
program will suffice. If you'd care to try a VB6 program I wrote
specifically for this task, I'll email it to you with complete source
code. VB6 is doomed and when XP fades to dust in a year or two, we'll
need another app, but in the mean time this is what I use for
WinTV2000 capture.
If you'd rather just know the cammand line switches, I can post those
here.
