You're probably getting rtjpeg files from a bttv card. I don't think thouse work on any platform/application outside of mythfronted. You can transcode them to mpeg4 easy enough from mythfrontend by going to the recording then job options start transcode. The transcode defaults aren't quite right but you will get a .nuv with mpeg4 video and mp3 audio that you can at least view, then tweak the trascode and/or set it to autotranscode.

Are you recording content as MPEG4 or MPEG2? There's good information
