freevo update 2

ok, here is the status of things i would like freevo to do:

tv viewing: works, colors are washed out but watchable slight video stutter(looks like a mplayer problem)
tv recording: crashes with integer too long error
live tv pause: not implemented yet
dvd viewing: works, no dvd menus (mplayer problem)
dvd ripping: not implemented, going to set up dvd : rip for this
audio playing: plays both mp3 and ogg
cd ripping: not implemented. gnome has a tool that works though.
cd playing: not working, but it's a problem with my linux not freevo.
tv guide: works. need to set it up to download multiple days.
video files: works, i would like an autorepeat, or playlist for them.

so there you have it, mostly it is working, and the picture resolution is actually better in linux than in windows. i think it has to do with the ati drivers for windows being screwed(i read this somewhere, but it was more rumor than fact). i think i really need to upgrade to a ati all-in-wonder 9500, but i don't have the money right now. it would be really cool since it comes with a remote control, which i need.

all in all my switch to linux has been fun. i'm still working on getting software installed, but i haven't been back into windows for 15 hours. the problems i still have are quake3 crashes, and i have no replacement for adobe products(yes there is gimp, and movie gimp(what did they rename it to?) and scribus) or sonic foundry products(ok, there are people working on this making programs like audacity, but they aren't quite there yet).
