If your recordings were made with a PVR-250, you don't need this filter. 
  It won't work.  The files are not really (Myth)NuppelVideo files; 
they're standard MPEG-2 files, which is why renaming them to .mpg works. 
  If you can find a way for your player to associate the '.nuv' 
extension with MPEG-2, then you shouldn't even have to rename them.
