<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">So, there is the built in software transcoder in myth, and you can use<br>that to transcode to mpeg4. Once you do that, the files are named still
<br>with extension .nuv. Can you open and play those in windows media<br>player (or any other player for windows like ati fileplayer for<br>example)? </blockquote><div><br>
Yes you can do that. But after transcode the file has a "real" .nuv
"header"/envelope, so you need the dsmyth filter (<a href="http://dsmyth.sf.net">dsmyth.sf.net</a>) to be
able of using the .nuv file on Windows. In addition you need a MPEG4
codec on your Windows PC.<br>
<br>
When you have transcoded the file to MPEG4, you can replace the header
with the nuv2avi application (on Linux!), which without recoding
creates an MPEG4 AVI file from the nuv file. Note that time stamps in
the nuv file are lost, so you might get audio sync problems with the
resulting AVI file, especially if you have the recording from a noisy
source.<br>
The dsmyth filter and nuvexport to DIVX format are methods that handle the time stamps correctly in my experience.<br>
<br>
</div>Also note that the dsmyth filter is a "Direct Show" filter and
not a "Video for Windows" filter. So with dsmyth you can use nuv files
in "Direct Show" players such as Windows Media Player and ZoomPlayer,
but you can not use it in Windows video editing applications, that
require "Video for Windows" access to the video file.<br>
