1. If I copy a show on a .nuv file for a show I want to keep elsewhere<br>can I play it from MythTV's Video Player ("Watch Videos" in the Media<br>Library) later?</blockquote><div><br>Maybe (see below). <br></div>

If you're using a hardware encoder, like one of the Hauppauge PVR cards, it's already in MPEG-2 format. Otherwise, you'll want to use nuvexport to convert to one of the standard formats. MythVideo can handle any of those just fine, too.
<br><br>nuvexport can also create an SQL file that you can use to reimport a .nuv file, which will put it back into the recorded programs list. Not exactly MythVideo, but it might meet your needs.<br><br>Carl Fongheiser<br>
