Any plans to make it easy to import a bunch of videos this way? I guess I
am talking about another manual record option that lets you input show
info like title, actors, descriptions, etc. I know you can do this today
with above and then editing mysql, but it would be nice to have a VCR
input you could just start and stop via myth and enter all the show info.

Nathan,

Since your card does the encryption for you, you could just make sure that the backend doesn't have any scheduled shows, or shut down the backend, then just do the 'cat video0 > file.mpg' trick that people use when testing their card setup. So, just start the cat, start the play, then ^C when the video stops.

It's not what you're asking about, but it seems like it would be the simplest way to me. :)

Thanks,
Peter Darley
