[mythtv-users] Playing MythTV files in Windows

[mOjO]

hmmm... thats nice to know that myth works good from a pure backend 
standpoint.. but you can also use the mythencode.pl script in the 
contrib folder...

/path/to/src/contrib/mythencode.pl     <--that script uses mencoder 
(also patched cvs) to convert NUV's to mpeg which should be more 
platform independent just view the readme in that folder.   If youre 
having codec trouble playing files in windows get a program called 
GSpot... its an excellent codec analyzer.
