I may be misreading Brian, Donavan, but it sounds like he means *pre-encoder*
to me; analog adjustments applied to the decoded baseband video going from
the tuner *to* the hardware encoder.

I agree: if there aren't knobs there, there should be.

But I'd thought there *were*, even on the Hauppauge cards.  F, versus G on
the keyboard?  Something like that...
