This release feature a new window when DVR starts : it allows the user to choose the video device to use, among the auto detected devices.

The dvr 2.7.9-2 package fixes numerous compilation problems. The avifile package is not included anymore. Users will have to recompile dvr for now.

This package includes a special avifile version. It should avoid conflicts with other versions of avifile.

These rpms are just for test. There are my first rpms, so they may not work...
