[mythtv-users] Question about PVR-350 files and transcoding

[astroguy67]

Hi all,

I have a working MythTV 0.18.1 setup with FC3.  My TV card is a PV-350.  I 
capture programs using 720x480 MPEG PS.  My question is this, it seems that the 
NUV file format is not recognizable by a couple of the utiilities.   I want to 
burn the programs onto a DVD.  I have nuvexport installed and it seems to 
work... almost.  The problem is that when I specify the file to transcode, the 
program says that the file cannot be opened.   I can the same error with 
avidemux2, it cannot open the source file.

When I use the DVD burn script in the MythTV.org docs, using mkfifo, mpegdesc, 
and dvdauthor, I can output the .nuv file to video and audio directories for 
burning to DVD (although the audio directory is empty).  I have burned the 
files to a DVD and they run on a Windows computer, but the DVD directory can't 
be read by a DVD player (I know that I probably have to use growisofs or 
mkisofs to reformat the files into the correct iso image to burn.

What can I look at to figure out why nuvexport and avidemux2 keep choking on 
the NUV files?

Thanks,

[mythtv-users] Burning NUV files to DVD

[astroguy67]

Hi,

I have just installed MythTV 0.18 on a FC3 box with a Hauppauge PVR350 card.  I 
have been capturing video using the default encoding of MPEG2-PS.  There are a 
couple of DVD encoding options.  My question is this, does switching to one of 
the DVD codecs allow me to copy files to DVD that are directly playable?  If 
instad of a direct copy, I want to author a DVD with captured video, what 
format should it be captured with before I try to convert it using one of the 
NUV utilities?

Thanks,
