No, doesn't work here, segfaults immediately. It plays the .nuv files
and mpeg files ok, but not the raw mpeg streams generated by mplayer.
mythtv seems to need the headers. Is there a program to create valid mpg
files from vcds or dvds on the fly? Or do you intend to expand mythtv to
a full video player? With YUV output of software decoded divx files to
the pvr350's tv-out?
