To avoid confusion, you might want to stop referring to the files produced by PVR-x50, ATSC or DVB cards as "NuppelVideo". They are not NuppelVideo, they are standard MPEG-2. The ".nuv" extension is just a convenience to simplify the way Myth handles files internally. It should be made clear that this solution will *only* work if: - you record your programs with a hardware MPEG encoder card (PVR-x50, M-179, etc) OR - you receive programming in MPEG-2 a la DVB/ATSC/HD AND - you do not automatically transcode recordings Actually, I'm starting to wonder if, with the increasing popularity of hardware encoders and digital broadcasting, if it wouldn't make sense to enable the internal transcoder to output a standard MPEG container. That way only files that were originally software-encoded would need to be in Myth's Nuppel container; everything else could either remain MPEG-2 or be transcoded to MPEG-4 in an MPEG container. I imagine this might get a little dicey regarding audio sync if there were cut points... actually, it would probably be possible to transcode to NuppelVideo if (a) the source is already Nuppel, or (b) there are cut points, otherwise, transcode to a standard MPEG container. ...come to think of it, you could probably do this now by turning off auto-transcoding and instead running a custom JobQueue job that runs transcode or mencoder to transcode down from MPEG-2... hmmm, I might give that a try... no cutpoints, but you'd get the benefit of transcoding to a smaller codec while preserving the ability to stream. Sorry, I realize this is not necessarily your concern in relation to mythstreamtv, but I thought it an idea worth "putting out there", as it may be of interest to some folks following this thread. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
