The only mystery that remains is what "OSD" stands for. The £150 price tag might itch, but I think it has a big future. In this paper we have proposed a neuro - fuzzy scheme for video analysis. Even so, 640x480 is surprisingly good, even on a 32" screen. Pan Detection Camera motions like panning induce a specific pattern in the. There are bugs: it would lock up on "rewinding" a video file (yanking the power was the only solution), and one could wish for higher resolution also, it won't do HD signals. (They're excellent for storing your films and music.) It'll also stream music if you've got a shared library.

The interesting things are its attractive smoky interface, which is overlaid on whatever TV signal is playing through it (so that you can decide when to start recording) that it can handle pretty much any of the alphabet soup of video formats that it has a UPnP (universal plug and play) browser so it can find content anywhere on your home network that its (frequent) firmware updates from can be done with a couple of button presses and that you can fast-forward or rewind even through content being streamed off a networked hard drive. The OSD runs on Linux, though that's the least interesting thing about it.

Meanwhile Archos has released its TV+, which has inbuilt storage (the OSD has none) and appears to do much the same job, though I haven't tested it. There seems to be a rash of such devices: I tried a similar thing from Pinnacle, but it doesn't have an output, so you can't play back, nor see what you're recording on screen. Since you can already record stuff from your Freeview box using a DVD recorder, this is hardly pushing the boundaries of criminality. (Or, feasibly, someone else's DVDs in your DVD player.) Personally, I found it good for rescuing VHS videos that would otherwise just be junked (including baby videos, so no copyright harm there) for transfer to a digital-friendly format. That's DVDs you're playing in your DVD player. Wait, you might say - did I say it takes the output from a DVD and puts it on a USB stick or drive? Yes, I did: it creates an MPEG-4 file, about 1GB per hour at its best resolution (640x480).
