What do people suggest for playing an MPEG2 nuv file under windows.  The 
file is recorded in TS mode from a DVB card.


I find that I can play these using Nero Showtime but not with WMP or 
VLC.  This is fine for my desktop but my wife wants to watch some stuff 
on her (work) laptop that has WMP only.


I have been trying to use VLC. It works fine for some channels in Finland,
but some are missing sound (problematic channels are those that are using
DVB subtitling, but I don't know if it is related to this at all).

I have both Freevo and mythtv installed. If I record with Freevo, VLC works
OK for all channels (even dvb subtitles work !). So there must still be 
something
wrong in mythtv TS recording mode.

If you don't need dbv subtitles you could try mplayer on windows. It is not
so picky about mpeg correctless as VLC.

Further to this I've been thinking and researching a little about doing 
a streaming type setup to play the files.  It's trivial to set up a web 
download for the files but none of the players I have tried will start 
playing before the file is fully downloaded.


VLC works if you copy-paste url from mythweb to vlc's http url field.
It starts to play instantly. Also mplayer works this way. Just don't click
the link in browser, choose 'copy link location' instead.
