I agree!
I tried to do some manual recording from VCR tapes the other week and I 
finally had to give up :-(

Either/Or:
1)Just press "r" during watching of composite/svideo/tv and it says "record" on the tv osd;
records to some file with just the date as the name; and then allows rename from the playback screen.
2)Just press "r" during watching of composite/svideo/tv and it pops up a dialog to name it;
and then records; but should probably allow for renaming in the menu anyway.

I vote for #1.
Let me guess; everyone wants to know if I have coded it up yet right? :-)

Maybe this evening after I install the latest CVS (couple weeks old now),
eat dinner with the wife, work out at the gym, watch CSI, and put the wife to bed...
