[AG-TECH] Any more H.264 news?

[Thomas D. Uram]

Andrew:

Please give some more detail of exactly the problem you're seeing.  
There is code in the AG services to counter some of the mapping problems 
with these devices, but with changes in vic and uncertainty about which 
drivers you're using, and lacking a description of the problem, I can't 
for certain know what's going wrong for you.
