[mythtv-users] Still don't get transcoding

I started transcoding my files so I could get some more distance out
of my drive space and I am confused. When my shows are recorded
(pvr150) they are saved as .mpg, but when I transcode them using
MPEG-4 they get saved as .nuv .

When I do a file on the original mpg it reports

[root at mythtv mythvideo]# file 1048_20061021020000.mpg
1048_20061021020000.mpg: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex


but if I do that to a tramscoded file it reports

[root at mythtv mythvideo]# file 1016_20061003170000.nuv
1016_20061003170000.nuv: data

I just don't get it.
