Got it, thanks.  I'll try to take a look tonight if I can.

This is due to the fact that the original "nuv" is actually a MPEG file
just named .nuv.  The transcoded .nuv file is a nuppel format file so
you need a patched mplayer using the patch I mentioned in my email.  Stock
mplayer plays the original nuppel format files, but not Myth's modified
version.

If you want to play the file in MythVideo yes, there's no guarantee that
the resulting file will play with Myth's internal player that is used for
MythTV (and for MythVideo if you set the player to 'Internal'), but you can
try.
