Hi,

There is a great utility available to convert MPEG4 nuv files to regular MPEG avi files so you can play them without the nuv patches WITHOUT transcoding first. This is the only utility I am aware of that does this quickly (just a few <10 minutes). Nuvexport does something similar but requires time consuming retranscodes which can take hours, if not days, depending on your hardware.

Nuv2avi is in heavy development presently and the current version is 0.0.2 works under certain conditions but is limited by some audio sync problems when the files are commercial cut, etc.

So a new version is out but it does not build natively on KnoppMyth R4V5. I have already tried to get this to work with out success. Would someone try to get this to work? I suspect that its probably just a simple addition of a library or header someplace in the Makefile but I can't find it.

You need to install subversion on your PC to download the latest version.

The author told me I need the xvid4 development library to finish the compilation. Of course, KnoppMyth R4V5 already has xvid installed...

Any ideas ???

I *suspect* you might be able to perform a:



and then be able to compile. But that's just a guess.

Thanks for the reply. Seems like a good approach but it still does not work. I get the same error messages with the xvidff.c file.

I am working with the author but I am now thinking I may just wait until the nuv2avi development stabilizes a bit more. There is some sort of funky dependency problem here and it may just take some time to work the kinks out in the main nuv2avi tree.

Thanks!
