That's actually one of the easier bits.  Easiest way to build
libiec61883 is to generate an RPM for it.  Here's the RH/Fedora way...

1. Download libiec61883
2. Generate a specfile
	sh autogen.sh
3. Rename the dir to dir-`version` as listed in the specfile.  I'm
assuming it's 0.1.0, but you should check libiec61883/libiec61883.spec
	mv libiec61883 libiec61883-0.1.0
4. Put the specfile in place
	cp -p libiec61883-0.1.0/libiec61883.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
5. Create a source tarball
	tar czf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/libiec61883-0.1.0.tar.gz
libiec61883-0.1.0/
6. Set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable.(This may or may not be the case on
your system.)
	export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
7. Build the RPM
	cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
	rpmbuild -bb libiec61883.spec
8. Install both the lib and the -devel package
	cd ../RPMS/`uname -i`
	rpm -Uvh ./libiec61883-0.1.0* ./libiec61883-devel-*

There is a test-mpeg2 demo program that should be in the -devel package.
This will allow pure captures.  Having said that, the .nuv file is in
the original format already, since you're already capturing a compressed
mpeg2 stream...
