     The features & fixes list was piling up so I thought it'd be a good
time to cut a new version.  Available here:

          http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv/

Brief summary of changes (see ChangeLog for details):

     : YUV video capture 
     : X10 MouseRemote support (www.x10.com) 
     : MPEG-encode streaming (IYUV & PPM) 
     : Multi-Bt848 card support 
     : Multi-/no-soundcard support, and TV audio on CD-IN 
     : Can now get at internal audio mux from GUI 
     : Support clean build on non-XFree86 and Linux systems 
     : New Action Rtns: TVToggleFreeze, TVVideoRecordStart/Stop 
     : Video conversion process externalized (user-defined script) 
     : Grab mouse when entering Zoom full-screen mode 
     : More verbose "-debug startup" output 
     : Misc. Fixes (XImage conv, TIFF saves, remote display, X ext
       detection, etc.) 

By default, it builds for XFree86.  To build on Xi/etc., grab the source
package and do: "gmake HAVE_XFREE86=NO"

You might also check out the "Sentinel.mps" sample off the web page.  I
captured it using IYUV last night, on stock IBM/WD EIDE drives no less :-)

A note on video encoding.  mpeg_encode(1) works fine for IYUV @ 320x240,
but it doesn't like the IYUV video stream length for many other resolutions
so I left RGB/PPM the default capture path.  For other resolutions, try
RGB/PPM, but by all means use IYUV/YUV for 320x240.  It gives you 25% more
disk bandwidth to play with.  (Also, if you dig into this and figure out
what mpeg_encode's so upset about please let me know.)

Enjoy!

Randall
