Yes, I'd thought that, but a straight drag'n'drop to an XP box, rename and play, and WMP doesn't recognise it. Most likely my recording profile is to blame - are there any settings specific to making a DVD-compatible file that I maybe am misunderstanding, do you think? > If you are recording from either a DVB or a hardware MPEG2 card, the > nuv file *is* an MPEG2 file.

Yeah, I had planned to just remove the adverts and trim the start/ends before burning - and much as I appreciate Myth has the cutlist to do this, I find the editing is done so much easier in a GUI package - like yourself I imagine. I'll fiddle with nuvexport anyway - I'm sure it's maybe doing more "transcoding" than it needs to - ie. just demuxing. Failing that, it must be the recording profile settings. The cards are, as you say, DVB-T cards so output a raw MPEG2 stream anyway.
