Haven't thought about it much.  My quick fix separated part of it down into
columns for a few of the shorter items.  Needs to be rethought though.
My descriptions on some of those options are kinda wordy also.  It might be
good to shorten the descriptions and make a help text box at the bottom
like the regular setup screens.

I find myself using quite a few of the advanced settings each time I setup
a new recording so I have the "always use advanced recording screen" turned
ON.
