     I'd be grateful if anyone who uses Fxtv would try this new beta and
let me know if you find any problems.  This is how:

     > pkg_delete fxtv-1.03
     > wget http://www.freebsd.org/~rhh/fxtv/fxtv-1.04beta-port.tgz
     > tar -xozf fxtv-1.04beta-port.tgz
     > cd fxtv
     > make install

Let me know how it goes.  I'll wait a week for folks to give it a shakedown
before we cut a release.  The updates are listed below.  Thanks to all who
offered patches!

BTW, the ffmpeg has a problem with the streaming to the encoder video FIFO
(ffmpeg emits "Error while parsing header"), so anyone that knows about
ffmpeg feel free to check it out and send me any patches.

Thanks,

Randall
