OK, then my best bet at this point would be to use MythVideo to play the
shows then?   I guess my reasoning for wanting to replace the original NUV
file with the transcoded one was to simplify the interface to watching my
shows.   Rather than having to remember if I transcoded a show or not, it
would be pretty transparent to the user.   One interface to the shows; some
of them are "live" recordings, while others have been transcoded to save
space.

Would be nice if MythTV could handle this.   Especially if it's a "pretty
easy" fix.

thanks.
