There was (is?) a bug that causes previews from NUV files (at least 
those created when recording--don't know if it affects NUV files created 
from transcoding) to be solid color/a single pixel from the upper left 
corner of the screen.  I can't remember any search terms right now, so I 
haven't found the discussion (which, IIRC, included a picture of MythWeb 
showing the solid-color previews) about it.
