[mythtv-users] MPEG recordings

[Robert Kulagowski]

 >>I cannot play them in a
>>"standard" media player, such as Windows Media Player, even if I rename the
>>extension to '.mpg'.  I am guessing that this is what is happening:

Install vlc from http://www.videolan.org.  You can then associate .nuv 
(or .mpg if you want) with VLC and that's that.  I use the videolan 
client program all the time to watch MPEG-2 content.
