Videora is the software that allows you to search for and download to your computer in compressed format almost anything that is on TV, much like a TIVO or a DVR does. This in effect allows your computer to time-shift your personal video programming. (Of course, you'll have to watch the show on your computer rather than your TV, however) Any TV program can then easily be put into MovieMaker for slicing and dicing.

Be careful not to use Videora anywhere on the MATC network, though. Videora helps you download BitTorrent files (explaining those is a whole other topic - google BitTorrent FAQ) which are a form of always on peer-to-peer that IT doesn't allow on our LAN. The network has sensors activated to locate any BitTorrent activity anywhere on the system. You'll get a call (or maybe a visit) from IT if they see it running on your PC, so don't even try it.

This is just here FYI. I am not in the business of supporting or promoting the use of this software.
