[mythtv-users] OT - Codec for NEXUS DVB MPEG

[Neil Davidson]

Thinking about it a bit more, it could be the windows drivers for my Nebula
DigiTV card that have enabled the watching of TS files in Media Player,
never thought of that one until now :)

Glad it is working for you now

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the help.  I wasn't able to get Media Player Classic to
automatically start playing files from with MythTV Filters but based on what
you said about the MPEG2 TS format I was easily able to download an MPEG2 TS
codec - and now its working fine with Windows Media Player.

Again - thanks a lot,

Derek

You will need a player that can understand the MPEG-2 TS formatted files.
Media player doesn't if memory serves. MPEG-2 files on DVDs etc. are PS
(Program Stream) files, broadcast MPEG-2 is TS (Transport Stream). TS files
are much better at withstanding bandwidth issues and dripped packets etc. 

I usually use Media Player Classic on Windows (you can get it from
Doom9.org, there is also a lot of information in the DVB guides about
creating DVDs from DVB sources etc.)

I'd say this is only a small bit off topic - its not a MythTV issue.

When I record programmes on a Nexus-S DVB card they play perfectly through
the PVR350 output - so it looks like the PVR likes the MPEG2 (?) that the
Nexus-S provides.

But I cannot play the files through Windows Media Player and MythWeb (using
MythTV filters and myth:// URLs in MythWeb) - Windows Media player complains
about no codec to play back the files with.  Recordings make with the PVR350
play back perfectly in Media Player so it looks like there is a difference
in the file formats from each card.

Does anyone know of a Codec for Windows that will playback Nexus-S DVB MPEG
files?

Thanks,

Derek
