AFC (courtesy of Guido van Rooij) and Aspect lock support added.  Most
other changes relate to juicing and speeding up Video capture, including:

  - Simultaneous capture to multiple disks
  - Simultaneous audio/video capture
  - MPEG-system stream support
  - PPM support
  - MPEG Ready (scripting) target enhanced

With multiple disks, capture smokes on my IDE drives.  And PPM greatly
speeds up the encode times.  Haven't even tried the recent IDE DMA
enhancements yet either; that's next :-)

Also, Fxtv is a port now.  Please try it out and let me know about any
problems.  I'll give it a few days, and then upload it to ftp.freebsd.org
so we can start getting TV tools on the CDs.  :-)

There are still some driver bugs related to FPS, so I've left the tweaked
June driver linked to the page.  Hopefully Amancio and Steve will have some
time to take a look in the next few weeks, current projects permitting.
Some other driver bugs not related to FPS are easy to reproduce by simply
resizing the driver window: wavy black lines, stipe down the middle of the
window, and only one field capturing constently with the other
intermittent.  For now, just resize the window again and you'll soon find a
res the driver is happy with.

Enjoy, and let me know how it goes.
