How would I make use of these output options? I don't know much beyond
Xv being an X extension, so if I chose the Xv output would that make it
automatically display in X? Would it be full-screen, windowed, or what?
Ideally I'd like to be able to turn the output on and off while vdr is
still running so I can start vdr from init.d and use the X display for
other applications when I'm recording something but not watching it.
