Sounds to me like it was actually transcoded.

The other possibility is that the file was corrupted and you're (doing
something extremely crazy like) running mythrename.pl without the --link
option.  IIRC the 0.20-fixes version of mythrename.pl uses the file
command to determine file type, so a corrupted MPEG file that file shows
as "data" would be given an nuv extension.

Note, my personal bias doesn't exist in the above parenthetical.  You
just think it does.  ;)
