Ok. Any specific reason to limit it to 6?  Most remotes I've seen,
including tivo's have tons of buttons.

Great!  I assume you'd do the same for re-encode as well?  If so, then
looking at the code and at my changes I think the cleanest thing, in
terms of minimizing code duplication, might be still to unify
PlaybackBox and DeleteBox and to just pass in one parameter that says
what the default action (play, delete, er-encode) is.  We can key
showing the size off that as well.  I'll work up a patch if this is
ok.
