OK good.

I haven't messed with it much, but I think it just uses default driver settings.
When I went to Advanced settings in vlc and tried to change some stuff, it
didn't work at all. I ended up just hacking up gorecord from the original driver
package and got it working that way.

I would probably be worthwhile getting vlc to work with go7007. What do you think?
