Sorry for not responding to this earlier... I'm using the release (0.14) 
on Gentoo with kernel 2.6.3 on the Asus Pundit, using the internal TV-out 
and a WinFast 2000 XP Deluxe tuner card.

I was trying to use it as a playback filter, yes. I haven't found 
information on how to setup recording filters, though I'm not sure what to 
search the archives for ("recording filter" didn't do the trick) and I 
don't see it anywhere in the GUI. A pointer to this would be very 
appreciated, since I suspect that deinterlacing and denoise:ing (with 
denoise3d or, preferrably, quickdnr) before encoding helps greatly wrt 
quality...
