[mythtv-users] Extracting Mpeg2 streams from NUV (for DVD playback)

[Roy Hooper]

Hi!

I'm starting to work on the ability to extract PVR-250 Mpeg-2 streams 
from .NUV and prepare them for burning to DVD in a format playable by 
any DVD player.  Ideally, I want to do this without re-encoding the files.

I've been digging around in google, the list archives, looked at 
mythtranscode, and nuvexport, and see nothing that will do what I want 
(reliably).  Mythtransocde/nuvexport, while very promising, decode the 
streams. 

I've successfully extracted the mp2/3 audio and the mpeg2 video from the 
.nuv using tcextract, however when remuxing them with tcmplex, the audio 
is usually out of sync.  dcdemux always barfs with
(demuxer.c) invalid program stream packet size (1984/2048)
and the result, while "file" says its an mpeg system stream, the result 
is unplayable under windows where I have a known working and fairly 
picky Mpeg-2 player (good for testing pre-dvd creation)...  However, the 
tcextract and then remuxed versions play fine, but with audio sync issues.

Any advice on where to look/start would be hugely appreciated.  I'm sure 
I can't be the only person who wants to archive PVR-250 recorded shows 
to regular DVD format?
