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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Davidson Sent: 10 March 2005 16:03 To: 'Discussion about mythtv' Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] OT - Codec for NEXUS DVB MPEG 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.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Conniffe Sent: 10 March 2005 13:51 To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: [mythtv-users] OT - Codec for NEXUS DVB MPEG 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?
