Hello

  I have been out of it lately - just had a baby. Please forgive my
questions, as they have probably all been asked already.

- I see that there is a version 0.15.1? How do I install it onto a
working RedHat existing installation? What problems can I expect?

- I really need to get my system working with my DirecTV in the next day
or so (tour de france). My DirecTV reciever has no serial port. What is
the easiest way for me to get this working with an IR box. Namely, which
IR box do I need, and where are there instructions for getting it up and
running properly?

- Is there an easy way to get the video to import at 720x480 or 720x486
and in MPEG 4 or MPEG 2 format? I remember (when I copiued the files
across to my Mac) that I was able to view them using Quicktime Player
6.5 by changing the extention to .mpg, but that tyhe movies were too
small to directly encode to a DVD. Is there a way to accomplish this?
