[mythtv-users] Convert to standard MPG files

[Kenneth Aafløy]

Hi,

Have you tried playing the .nuv files? I think there should be nothing
special about these files, except the extension...

And, if you would go about reencoding them, you would loose a lot of
information in the proccess!!

[NOTE] - MPEG4 (DivX) should be playable in windows from scratch, but
seriously, install some of the other codecs out there (divx.com)...

Hello,
I'd like to take the .NUV files (myth's internal encoder is set to MPEG4
compression) and convert them to regular MPG's for viewing on a Windows box
with Windows Media Player 9. There's a lot of talk about this on the dev
list but I'm having trouble making sense of it all. I would like to know
what options I have as far as bitrate, etc. because I need to fit as much as
possible on a 4.7 GB DVD. "VCD" quality might be OK but I'd like
instructions for a few different levels of quality so that I can play around
with it.

Now, I'm not trying to make the DVD disc playable in a DVD player, I just
want MPG files on a DVD data disc that can be played in Windows Media
Player.

So, this is what I need to know:
- How to convert the NUV files - MPEG4 encoded - to a "standard" .mpg file
for viewing on Windows machines with WMP9.
- Options I have for conversion, i.e., bitrate, compression, resolution,
whatever to experiment with
- is there a way to view the .mpg files ... reading them off of the DVD
discs ... within the mythtv interface?
- and of course a good DVD burning program to burn a DATA dvd disc (NOT dvd
video) under Linux

Thanks in advance!
