BW - that doesn't sound too ambitious. The most difficult part will be finding the time. Lots of people could contribute to this quite easily in various ways.

I have an idea or two about how to do it pretty simply, but will save that for a discussion thread elsewhere rather than the announcement section.

If you want you can make a thread in the social group about it, but not many people will notice it as it's so out of the way. Maybe create one in the HD section and then everyone could contribute.

I record on a hauppauge HDPVR. There is a thread in the off-topic section, started by Lance, about video capture that you might want to check out.
