Well, it needs setup dialogs now, too.  And a way to write back the settings 
files, and a bunch of other stuff..

Broken Xv driver, for the color problem, most likely.  Sounds like it's 
flipping the U and V color buffers.  Well, that or I'm using the wrong mode, 
or the driver doesn't support the video mode I'm using.  Does running 'xawtv 
-xv' show something similar?  Does changing line 34 of libNuppelVideo/XJ.cpp 
to be defined to 0x32315659 help any?

For the sound, you need to mute your line-in, and most likely set the mixer to 
record on the line-in.  You're probably hearing the pass-through, and 
nothing's getting recorded.

Your perl's probably about the same level as mine, so =)

Thanks, but I'm not going to apply until the new menu code (just committed) 
and the program guide work right with the resizing stuff.  I think Bad 
Things(tm) would happen to the menu right now if it were to be resized..  
But, that'll give me incentive to fix 'em.
