OK, this is fixed -- as of 1.1b31, the driver supports 'yuvu', 'yuvs' 
and '2vuy' anywhere it supports 'yuv2' -- if anyone can make use of 
this functionality, please try it out.

I just posted a new beta (1.1b31) that should fix the install problems to:

  <ftp://ftp.ioxperts.com/IOXperts/Video/Beta/1.1b31/>

It's not announced outside our lists on the other FTP server yet -- 
we're trying to fix an intermittent crash opening the SG panel with 
certaion cameras before wider release so if you have any minor bugs 
that can be fixed quickly, please let us know ASAP.

Also, we've added public access to our bug tracking database -- if 
you want to enter bugs directly, you can do so here:

   <http://splinter.ioxperts.com:16080/fogbugz/default.php?pg=pgPublicEdit>

FogBUGZ is a pretty decent bug/tech-support tracking system that was 
just ported to Mac OS X -- we're still getting used to thing, but 
hopefully this will help keep us from dropping bugs on the floor.

If you have any outstanding bugs that we haven't addressed, please 
take a moment to enter them -- nothing fancy, you can just paste an 
e-mail in.

Thanks,

-Steve
