I don't have a TV in my server room, but the during the 10 seconds it 
works, it gets audio and video.

This is the first I've ever heard of there even being such parameters to 
look at or change.  Where is this documented?  I'm at work now, I'll 
have to check these tonight when I get home.  Although it has worked in 
the past.

I tried to send a second message last night with output from -v record 
and -v all, but it was blocked because it was too big.  I'll have to try 
something a bit less verbose tonight and send again.
