Re: Tune on TG4

Is there any way of saving Geantrai programmes to hard disk?

Re: Tune on TG4

I try to record TG4 web Tv on my hard disk, but i think it's impossible !
I record tunes with my web cam or my I pod. Quality is not very good, but it is OK if you want to learn a tune with Audacity or Best Practice.

Re: Another Tune on TG4

I was listening to the 2/20 Geantrai and wondered if anyone had the names of the tunes that the first group of musicians were playing. It was a set of polkas. I especially liked the 3rd tune in the set.

Thanks!

Re: Tune on TG4

According to http://www.tg4.ie/Bearla/inte/geantrai/sea.htm
they are Brendan Begley, Cillian Ó Briáin & Bríd Donnelly playing polkas 'Joan Martin', 'Downey's', & 'Nellie'.
If you start from http://www.tg4.ie and choose:
1) English
2) PROGRAMME INFO
3) Geantrai
4) This week
... you get a description and tune list (often accurate, but not always) of the latest edition, and a bar for the descriptions of other weeks.

I don't know of any way of recording the video, but any audio recording software should be able to catch the sound track for you for tune-learning purposes. I've done it a number of times. It's probably even legal! (For the purposes of private study and research.)
I've heard that third one calle "Oh Nellie"

Ah, thanks so much, Morphonymic Tootler! I didn't know there was a way to get the English.

Hi Morphonymic Tootler,
Please excuse my technical ignorance here- could you explain how to use the software to record the sound track- is it possible using Windows Media (I also have I-Tunes and Quick Time)? Thank you.
(I don't want to record everything- just the odd tune to learn).

Re: Tune on TG4

I don't know how it works in other browsers, but in Firefox if you right click on the program window it will let you slow down the recording. I just picked up Downey's and Nellie that way. But it's a pain because if you want to start over you get put all the way back to the weather report, commercials, ect. I changed the speed to fast to get through that and then back to slow when I got to the tunes.
