I did too. I'm certain a few of them have been covered in the past.

Yes, you have asked quite a few questions in a short period of time.
But that's only part of the problem. To get a good idea of my position
on the issue, read here:

A few of your questions were indeed previously covered on the list. I'm
not saying don't post anything, but that is quite a deluge you hit the
list with. It wouldn't hurt to spend a bit more of YOUR time figuring
out your problems before asking everyone else to spend THEIR time on
every problem you come up against. I just found myself spending a
goodly amount of time reading all your messages, and even more time
trying to respond where I could hopefully help. The last one was about
my fill for the day, I guess. That, and I've been pretty cranky today,
anyhow... :)

Yes, I sort of put my foot in my mouth on that one...

I try to do what I can, since I can't code for squat. I like to think
I'm always right when I give an answer, but I like to know when I'm not
(thank you, Isaac). :)
On that note, I'm contemplating dusting off my very rusty programming
skills, and seeing if I can't hack together a patch that'll put an
"I've got a PVR-x50 card" menu item in the codecs list, so something
like this WILL be obvious.
