Software
ATi's "Multimedia Center 7.5" is the command center for all AIW activities. It differs from its predecessor in design and the aforementioned remote control function. All programs can be conveniently started from the quick start menu or the task bar.
- ATi-TV - The suite's TV playback and video recording software offers MPEG-2 capturing and timeshifting.
- ATi-DVD - ATi's software DVD player
- ATi-VCD - plays video CDs
- ATi-CD - plays audio CDs
- File-Player - lets you view video clips
- Library - management software for videos, pictures, etc.
The programs can also be started from the remote control.
Gemstar's TV-Guide+ (http://www.gemstartvguide.com ) lets those of you in the U.S. download the current TV programs for your region and switch directly to the desired channel. The program can also be used to program the video capture software to record a program at a later time.
The gaming bundle seems a bit out of place. Considering it consists solely of the short and rather aged game Expendable, dropping it altogether and lowering the card's price would have been the more logical choice, as far as I'm concerned.
