[mythtv-users] converting nuv files to vob?

[Gary Huntress]

I've been very successful getting my WinTV-250 up and running mythtv but I
must confess that I'm such a video-newbie that I'm failing miserably in the
final step in my "ultimate" quest.   I have not been able to burn a show
captured by mythtv to DVD.

I started first with the standard transcode command:

transcode -i simpsons.nuv -V -y mpeg -F d -Z 352x240 --export_fps
29.970 --export_asr 2 -E 48000 -b 224 -o simpsons

(where "simpsons.nuv" is a copy of the appropriate
/mnt/store/1013_2004.....nuv file)

but the audio and video files produced by transcode are empty (video is 38
bytes long)  so I know this is incorrect.

The MythTV FAQ (http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html) does
discuss converting to other formats. I used the last example and saved the
raw a/v to files.  The video went from 1GB compressed to over 19GB raw.  I
was unable to play it and transcode could not create a vob.

Long story short.  Does anyone have any scripts and/or tools to convert
nuv's to vobs for the purpose of burning DVDs?

Thx!
