If your recordings were made with a PVR-250, you don't need this filter.
It won't work. The files are not really (Myth)NuppelVideo files;
they're standard MPEG-2 files, which is why renaming them to .mpg works.
If you can find a way for your player to associate the '.nuv'
extension with MPEG-2, then you shouldn't even have to rename them.
