Right. That's what's a little confusing about the "Global
colour..." thread and this thread. What's new this week is
Ben Levitt's controls for the X settings during playback.
The v4l settings and the Xv settings are very different
things.

The v4l contrast, for example, is too high by default. If
this isn't fixed, the recording will have washed out, blurred
white and near white. Once the recording is distorted there
is nothing that can be done to fix it during playback. The
F1-F8 keys tweak these per channel and Ben added "(REC)" in
the OSD to help clarify that these affect recording. The V4L2
AGC setting also affects the signal before it is recorded.

The "F" key is new and allows setting the Xv controls during
playback. This is a good thing but different video drivers
can support a different subset of attributes, have different
min and max values and, apparently in the case of XV_HUE, may
even use the values in a different way.
