How do you tell mencoder to simply remux the file instead of transcoding
it?

Sounds good! I haven't tried doing this conversion using ProjectX from
within MythTV, but that would be very useful.
java -jar ProjectX.jar -out outdir srcfile.nuv
works great from the console without the need for user interaction.
In the meantime, I've written a quick little perl script that dumps the
program description, filename, and date so I can see what file is what
show.
