Digital Video Recorder Overview (Windows CE 5.0)
The Digital Video Recorder Engine allows you more flexibility in how you choose to store and view media. In addition to traditional live media playback, you now have the option to store media and view it at a later date as many times as you wish. You also have control over playback speed and playback direction.
In order to provide these additional features, the media must be buffered in memory and stored persistently. This buffering and persistent storage is provided by the Digital Video Recorder engine.

The Digital Video Recorder Engine enables a user to do the following:
