[mythtv-users] what to do with transcoded file

[Sn00p99 at aol.com]

i just started using mythtv, and want to make my recordings more portable.  
so i figured that transcoding would be the best option. i have a pvr-250, so 
the  resulted recording is a mpeg-2 file, when you transcode you get a mpeg-4 
file  with the .nuv extention. i'm new to the video encoding thing, and 
wondering what  exactly is the purpose of that file, and how can get it to play on my 
windows  machine, or my pocket pc. are there any guides on the internet that 
will give me  instruction on exactly whats going on, to give me a better 
understanding of the  process?
thanks
jp
