| Post subject: | Off loading recordings question |
I need to off load some recording from my myth box to my computer. Now for some reason that no one has been able to figure out yet (I think). My myth stores all recordings as nuv files. I don’t know why but it does. Anyway I copied one to my computer using the mythweb interface, but I can not seem to play it. It does not recognize the format. I do transcode the video so I thought it would be mp4 but nothing that I have will read the files.. HELP?! UPDATE: VLC Player can play it. It says it is a divx file. But nothing else can even identify it correctly execpt vlc player. |

MS-Windows in it's infinite dimness actually thinks that file "extenstions" tell the whole story. Try renaming one of the files to something like "whatever.mpg" and see how that works. The PVR-150 recording files should be vanilla MPEG-2 streams, either PS or TS depending on which recoding profile you used. Any decent player should be able to handle them once you get past the failure to recognize water because it's called "wasser" or "l'eau". This is of course unless you're transcoding them to some other format, in which case the MPEG-4 strream or whatever you're transcoding to may actually be buried in a real NUV wrapper. |

I did rename the file to .mpg and I still get the error. The files are transcoded to mpeg4, SO I think I have the nuv wrapper. How do I get rid of that? tjc wrote: MS-Windows in it's infinite dimness actually thinks that file "extenstions" tell the whole story.

One of the export tools... The name escapes me... Hang on... Aha. You want to read up on "nuvexport" which is an interactive script for this kind of thing. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Nuvexport |
