 I think the behaviour of that red key in the main menu can be changed in
the way you described (Why extra keys? a pause key does not exists yet).
Currently if you want to record something in "transfer mode" - the behaviour
is a little crazy (I would call it "bug":-). The picture freezes, and the
recording starts. A small addition (start playing the recording) would be a
good feature, and simple to implement But this would only work with more
than 1 card (should work only if a free card for replay is available).
