Thinking about it a bit more, it could be the windows drivers for my Nebula DigiTV card that have enabled the watching of TS files in Media Player, never thought of that one until now :)
Glad it is working for you now -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Conniffe Sent: 10 March 2005 20:14 To: 'Discussion about mythtv' Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] OT - Codec for NEXUS DVB MPEG 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?
