Good stuff. Thanks for the info. Will be looking into nuvexport and
dsmyth. I'm sure that I could put a script into the user jobs section
and then just execute a nuvexport script for whatever recordings I want
to watch over on the windows box. Myth sure was built with no end of
possibilities.
As a side note, I only use windows to game. However, if someone is
watching something I don't want to on the TV machine, this will be
useful to then use the windows machine to watch some things in parallel.

So, there is the built in software transcoder in myth, and you can use
that to transcode to mpeg4. Once you do that, the files are named
still
with extension .nuv. Can you open and play those in windows media
player (or any other player for windows like ati fileplayer for
example)?
Yes you can do that. But after transcode the file has a "real" .nuv
"header"/envelope, so you need the dsmyth filter (dsmyth.sf.net
<http://dsmyth.sf.net>) to be able of using the .nuv file on Windows.
In addition you need a MPEG4 codec on your Windows PC.
When you have transcoded the file to MPEG4, you can replace the header
with the nuv2avi application (on Linux!), which without recoding
creates an MPEG4 AVI file from the nuv file. Note that time stamps in
the nuv file are lost, so you might get audio sync problems with the
resulting AVI file, especially if you have the recording from a noisy
source.
The dsmyth filter and nuvexport to DIVX format are methods that handle
the time stamps correctly in my experience.
Also note that the dsmyth filter is a "Direct Show" filter and not a
"Video for Windows" filter. So with dsmyth you can use nuv files in
"Direct Show" players such as Windows Media Player and ZoomPlayer, but
you can not use it in Windows video editing applications, that require
"Video for Windows" access to the video file.
