issues/suggestions that aren't "bugs" per se...

First of all, it looks fantastic. Just wanted to get that out of the way. I really like the new look, and I'm excited about where it's going.

however...

1) The automatic nature of the preview - I would much prefer a specific preview option that you must select, rather than the preview automatically starting when you select a video to get more information about it. This would help the deleting issues that I've seen elsewhere, and I've experienced myself. Also, it'll keep sage from previewing some random show that came on the channel after the last thing I recorded.

2) Currently, there is no indication when you move a video from Sage Recordings to the Library from within the video details page that the move was successful. Such an indication would be very helpful.

3) If the layout for the Hauppauge remote has changed, I would like a new diagram telling me what is what. If not, some of the features still need to be implemented... specifically mapping the yellow button to an options menu. I made great use of that yellow button in 1.4, and sometimes a little options menu is more convenient than a full blown info page.

4) The video preview is all but useless over the hauppauge 350 output, because the video hasn't been resized to fit inside that little window. I don't know if this is possible or not.

5) I still can't watch my divx/xvid/etc over the 350 out... is there any way to accomplish this short of transcoding the video from xvid to mpeg2 on the fly? And assuming their isn't, how feasible is transcoding? What kind of processing power would this require? I really want to use my Hauppauge TV out, but until I can watch my compressed video over it, I'll have to settle for something else.
