</div>It depends on how things are encoded. I think a while back all mpeg2<br>
files were stored as .nuv files. Now I think most mpeg2 hardware<br>
encoders will just give you a normal .mpg file. I think that the<br>
software encoders will still give you .nuv files and I think that<br>
mythtranscode will produce .nuv files as well.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>This is all correct. Depending upon your capture card you are recording to either .nuv or .mpg file extension...where nuv IS an MPEG format, but, I BELIEVE (though could be wrong here) that the two formats are NOT identical (i.e. You cannot take a file named .nuv rename it to .mpg and have it play with a standard MPEG player, again, I COULD be wrong here).<br>
<br>And yes, the transcoder does in fact output .nuv files when run. THe --mpeg2 switch to mythtranscode might cause things to be a bit different however, today when I transcoded a movie I got a .mpg.tmp file instead of a .nuv file.<br>
