git clone https://github.com/MythTV/nuvexport.git

then I manually move items to the correct location

cd nuvexport/
sudo cp nuvexport /usr/bin/
sudo cp nuvexportrc /etc/
sudo cp nuvinfo /usr/bin/
sudo cp -rf nuvexport/ /usr/share/


I just use nuvexport in a user job

/usr/bin/nuvexport --infile="%FILE%" --path=/storage2/videos --height=400
--width=720 --mode=xvid --deinterlace --nonoise_reduction --cutlist
--noconfirm --nice=19

this way its all contained within the database so I dont need to remember
to backup scripts if I ever move my backend.

Cheers,

Anthony
