Hauppauge Computer Works, a division of Hauppauge Digital Inc., today announced the release of its new “Wing” software, enabling consumers to record TV shows on a personal computer for playback on the Sony Playstation Portable, Apple video iPod, and other portable video players. Wing can also be used to convert existing TV recordings to the PSP and iPod format.

Wing is sold as a $24.95 accessory to Hauppauge’s PC-based WinTV-PVR personal video recorders. Live TV shows can be recorded with a single click and played on a PC or TV set as well as a portable video player. Wing records in H.264, MPEG-4 and Divx formats, and also will record directly to a recordable DVD disk.

The Wing application comes with three components: a plug-in for the popular TitanTV internet based electronic program guide for automatic recording of TV shows, a plug-in for Hauppauge’s WinTV Scheduler for manual TV record scheduling, and an off-line recorder which will turn MPEG-2 videos into any of the formats supported by Wing.
