	|Builds and runs great here, thanks a lot Randall. Even 2.2.8 is
	 |possible (with a bit more work).

	Great.  What kinds of things did you need to do?  Send me patches
and I'll
	post a 2.2.8 port on the web page.

	Will do that tonight ! (I'm at work right now )

	 |Just one question : When one tests for the optimum frame rate,
what does
	 |it need a file name for ?? :)

	Well, not all disks are created equal, so when you optimize it
records to
	the same area that it will be recording when you hit "Record".  By
default,
	this is some file derived from the filename base you enter.

	However, if you enter one or more videoCapFile's to override where
it
	captures (I always do; allows interleaving writes to multiple
disks), for
	example:

	  ! Video capt temp files (optional - up to 4) - one on each disk
for 
	  !   best performance
	  Fxtv.videoCapFile1:  /data/00-CAPTURE/fxtv.cap
	  Fxtv.videoCapFile2:  /32_share/00-CAPTURE/fxtv.cap
	  !Fxtv.videoCapFile3:  /share_bak/00-CAPTURE/fxtv.cap

	then it doesn't really capture to a filename derived from your GUI
filename
	base.  It uses these videoCapFiles and then just encodes to files
with the
	GUI filename base.  

	So while in the latter case it might not need a user-entered
filename from
	the GUI, I thought it made sense to be consistent for both cases.

	Ok, thanks for that. Makes sense now.

	How's MPEG encoding working for you?

	I only was able to test the conversion on the 2.2.8 box, and there
it didn't work. It told me it couldn't write the conversion script. I will
look into it a bit more tonight.

	-Th
