[mythtv-users] Is the MythTV .nuv format non-standard ... or am I missing something?

[Garett Harnish]

This isn't strictly MythTV related, but is MythTV using a non-standard 
version of .nuv?   I can not get mencoder to convert it into avi for me 
which is a little annoying.  I've tried version 0.91, and 1.0pre1 (the 
output below is from the later) to the same result.   I'm not overly 
familiar with .nuv but I noted that mencoder claimed to support it.   I 
also noted that there is some sort of MP4 patch floating around (where 
I'm not sure)  which fixes a header damaged problem in 0.91rc4, but I 
can get the NuppelVideo file format detected.

? mencoder 1040_20030901201500_20030901210000.nuv  -oac copy -ovc copy 
-o tmp.avi

Any idea's what is going on here?
