[mythtv-users] Playing Myth recordings on Blackberry Playbook

[Michelle Dupuis]

A little more info...my files are set to record as "mpg" in myth but that doesn't seem to matter.  mediainfo shows the following when looking at a recording.  You would *THINK* that Windows would decode it fine, but no...same with playbook.   Not sure how to interpret this...

Subject: [mythtv-users] Playing Myth recordings on Blackberry Playbook

I tried copying some MythTV recordings to my playbook, but they won't play.  I suspect its the container/codec (which is the extent of my knowledge on this topic).

Is there a way to make Myth record in a standard codec/container like mp4?  (I'm sure someone will point out there are many options in that standard).  You know what I mean.

I don't really want to setup a conversion job to duplicate every recording just for export, but I'm not sure what my options are.  I read on the wiki about players/directshow filters for the PC, but no help for the playbook.

Help?
