Yup, that seems to be working, too.  (My first go got interrupted, so I 
had to restart anyway ....)

How big does the HW Roadburn .rm work out to be?  My instance of mplayer 
doesn't seem to be counting out percentages to let me know how it's 
doing, but the "Hawkwind_Roadburn_2006.rm" in its directory is dutifully 
getting larger.  I'm capturing _something_ .... :)

(Some googling also suggested to me that the command-line version of 
mplayer is buried deep within with the bundled .app (as I might have 
guessed, really, if I hadn't been rushed), so I might have a go at that 
back home, too.)

Groovy!
