By far the best PVR software out there! 
Beyond TV version 4.2
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 4

I have used about all the TV software out there, and this is by far the best one there is. It supports pretty much every TV card there is flawlessly. Not like some others that use software encoders on a hardware encoding TV card (Cyberlink *cough* PowerCinema *cough*). The interface is very clean. Installation is a breeze. It has all the features you could think of and more...check out the web interface for it. I am using the Snapstream Firefly remote with this and it works great. Just a few tips if the performance or video quality is not up to par for you: Change MPEG2 decoders to Snapstream Basic ones. Get a better TV card. If you have choppy video, check CPU utilization. Upgrade video card for better picture quality. I went from an NVidia MX4000 to an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (both connected to the S-Video out going to the TV) and there was a nice difference...it actually looks BETTER than going straight to the TV now. By the way, this is with an ATI 550 Pro.

Great image burning software!
ImgBurn version 2.1.0.0

This is the best image burning software I have found. The thing I like about it most is you can set the priority of the program when it burns. I can have the CPU pegged at 100% and still get high quality burns. Has a good interface and you can even build your own data discs on anything from CDs to dual-layer DVDs. It also runs on Windows XP Pro x64. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

Good burning program compatible with xp x64
Burrrn version 1.14 beta2
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4

- Value: 5
- Overall:
This is the only freeware burning program I have found that successfully burns mp3s, oggs, flacs, and more into an audio cd format on Windows XP Pro x64. There are some better burning programs, but this one is simple and lightweight. I did notice that when I started a burn with no disc in the drive the program wasn't too happy, but it worked fine after I restarted the burn with a disc in the drive. Good free software and definitely worth a try.
