RE: [mythtv-users] Burning NUV files to DVD
Ummm System requirements: 1)OS: Windows XP or Windows 2000 The writing tool won't work if installed on a different OS 2)File system (hard disk format): NTFS is required. If you are using FAT32, you will only be able to handle files smaller than 4 GB. Not quite as interesting for something on linux-land. I have no doubt that there are dozens of annoyware where every punk who wrote some piece of shit winders software wants you to send him $3.99 to keep his crippleware from emailing death threats to the president (and to unlock his software). Most of the windows stuff has a horribly low signal/noise ratio, often like lots of linux stuff as well. The difference is you generally have to register, worry about spyware and viruses, and pay money to mess with the windows crap. The correct solution is usually to spend many hundreds of dollars on *THE* software (whatever it is for what you're doing). Photoshop for images, TGMPG for video, etc. /rant off OK... to partially answer the OP's question. I'm generally not flippant about read the archives, but I've personally answered this question a number of times. Bottom line is, it depends. If you're recording via an ivtv-based card, the .NUV is *NOT* a nupplevideo file, but an MPEG stream with a .nuv filename extension. Setting the different recording profiles (DVD, PS, TS, DVD-special, etc) tends to have very little effect on the resulting file. The bigger question is that of editing the resulting stream (commercials in particular). Without editing, a PS ivtv capture should be authorable directly with dvdauthor (or any frontend that uses it as a backend like qdvdauthor or dvdstyler). NAV packets may need to be inserted into the stream (replex, dvb-mplex, or demux A/V and mplex 'em back). Cutting out commercials, or basically *any* editing of the stream (including adding the NAV packets) can be subject to sync problems from ivtv captures. If the card glitches on a frame or ten, it fixes the problem by throwing away audio or video frames and adjusting the relative timestamp between the two. Few editing programs (notably avidemux) honor this, and results in sync that changes throughout the stream. It cannot be fixed with a single sync value. If you unmux the audio and video and remux them back, you get the same thing... broke-dick sync. Promising alternatives at this point are gopdit and gopchop. The latter is older than the former and I thought gopchop was dead. Just recently, there's been a flury of activity on the -dev list of gopchop about some new release. Looks better, but I haven't played with it enough to know how well it works. Both of these try to losslessly cut the MPEG stream on GOP boundaries so little processing is required. AFAIK, both still mangle some stuff, though. Like I said... it's complicated. Simple dump-to-dvd isn't hard. Any manipulation requires unbroken tools to make it work all the time. 95% of the time it'll work in a half dozen different ways with the tools available. It's that 5% that's a bitch (speaking from experience here). -Cory On Wed, 4 May 2005, Khanh Tran wrote: Tsunami MPEG encoder and Tsunami MPEG DVD Author. http://www.tmpg-inc.com/product -Khanh -Original Message- From: James L.

Re: [mythtv-users] Burning NUV files to DVD
Jim, Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that you will always need to use the NUV utilities to get the videos into a format that is playable in a dvd player. I don't believe that the PVR 350 itself correctly insert VOBU's where it should, and the utilities take care of that. The combination of nuvexport and mpeg2cut (and its associated utilities) work quite well. The whole process of converting a one-hour video from Myth to burning a DVD takes about 5 minutes for me. I believe that I use MPEG2-PS as the default encoding as well. Hope that helps!

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?
