Myself I've mostly given up TV recording and I always prefer DVD
(as my TV signal is very far from DVD quality and storing noice
on CD is't that cheap :)

I've added you patch to CVS - however are you sure that
this kind of functionality is the best one for this problem ?
I'd have rather expected usage of avirec/mencoder or whatever command
line tool via cron-tab for such thing ??

When I'll get to the box with TV card I'll recheck this.

Also - it's good idea to put this into your ~/.cvsrc:
cvs -z3 -q
diff -u
update -P -d
checkout -P
and using 'cvs diff' directly in your CVS tree - it's much more easier to
read and check.

My bios could also wakeup itself at given time - though I've not yet
checked the possibility to program this though linux.

I think there are already such project on sf - mainly based on mencoder -
maybe you would like to check them first..

Maybe originaly yes - but they have been later rewriten by hand - by
some commments from original autogenerated file were left.
There have been zillion of problem with translating these files,
bacause many users have had broken Qt installation - so I've decided
to not use these files - also the GUI is coded much more efficiently
then from autobuilder (at least in aviplay case :)

You have write permisions to CVS - just be sure you are commiting
compilable sources - and if you want to modify something outside
qtvidcap tree - let me know first...
