I know this answer will be frowned upon, but I have found that directly
updating the entry in the database is much faster (you do have to exit
the Video module and re-enter it to update its local cache). This also
applies if your theme has not been updated.
When it was on the menu, it was really fast to do through the ui. After
it was moved to the Edit screen, it takes two menu clicks, several field
changes, then you have to bring up the keyboard to delete the default
string of zeros (extremely annoying), then you can dismiss the keyboard
to enter the numbers directly with the remote number keys (faster than
using the keyboard). then you have to go through several more field
changes to get to the OK button. You then go back to the video screen
and have to initiate an update through more menu clicks.
