Portable Gaming Revolution

Hauppauge Computer Works has released its new Wing software which allows users to record TV shows on a personal computer for playback on the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP), Apple video iPod, and other portable video devices.

- Record your favorite TV shows on your PC for playback on the video iPod, Sony PSP or DivX player.
- Works with all models of the WinTV-PVR, including the WinTV-PVR-150, WinTV-PVR-250, WinTV-PVR-350 and WinTV-PVR-USB2.
- Includes a stand alone transcoder, so you can take previously recorded TV shows in an MPEG format, and turn them into a mobile video format.
- Includes a TitanTV plug-in, so you can record in a mobile video format when scheduling your TV shows with TitanTV.
- Includes an updated WinTV Scheduler and mobile video configuration program.

Wing is the new mobile video recorder application from Hauppauge. Wing uses a WinTV-PVR to record your favorite TV shows into a video iPod, Sony PSP or DivX format for playback on these portable video players.

There are three ways to use Wing. If you use TitanTV to schedule your TV recordings, Wing will allow you to record in a mobile format with one click. If you schedule regular recordings (for example: Desperate Housewives every Sunday night), you can use the latest version of WinTV-Schedule which now includes the mobile video recorder. If you have TV shows which you recorded previously, Wing comes with converter program which will turn the MPEG videos into a mobile video format.

Wing also comes with a “direct to disk” feature, which allows you to record your TV shows onto a DVD disk while the TV show is running. This Direct to Disk feature allows you to put multiple TV shows onto one DVD disk (within, of course, the size limit of the DVD disk).

Sounds pretty nifty in my opinion and it only runs $24.95 (US). If anyone does get this, post in the forums and let us know about your experiences.
