Vidi 0.4.7

Vidi will help you to view and record videos on your Mac using any FireWire DV device.

When used with a Formac Studio DV, Studio DV/TV or StudioTVR device, Vidi lets you select the input source, change TV channels and adjust picture settings.

Vidi includes a control palette for changing channels and adjusting picture settings when the Studio DV/TV is being used with other applications, such as QuickTime Broadcaster or iMovie.

Vidi can record in the background, but you can also use Vidi to watch video at full size and full frame rate as it is being recorded.

You can use Vidi to schedule recordings in advance. Vidi will perform the recordings at the scheduled times, as long as you're not logged out.

You can use Vidi to listen a record or a radio station if you have a tuner.
