Hi, VLC opens the .nuv files from my PVR250 just fine. Of course you get just the recording, no commercial skipping and other Myth goodies.

OK... I'll bite. G! You need an MPEG2 codec. Nothing more. Then what's this? http://dsmyth.sourceforge.net/ Common misconception with Mythtv. The *original* captures were from bttv-based cards and were compressed in a slightly modified nupplevideo format... the .nuv. The dsmyth filters allow Winders to play those files. When using a PVR-350 or equivalent, the *card* does the compression into MPEG-2 format, but MythTV still names them as .nuv. Compared to the original, what else? Plays back fine in Mythtv as a .nuv. Change the extension and try to play back through the mpg-2 codec and it looks like crap. I don't know what more information I can give unless you want to come over and look at it yourself. Ummm... NO. Changing a filename extension does not a different file make. If the playback quality is different while playing the same file, then the playback decoder is the difference... not the flippin' filename extension! Possible explanations between different playback utilities include, but are not limited to: - Different MPEG2 decoding engines (ffmpeg vs. libmpeg2 vs. some broke-dick Winders player, etc) - Different Hue/Sat/Brightness/Gamma between players. Maybe the card has a borked setting for the recording that you've adjusted out with MythTV. - Realtime filtering (denoising, deinterlacing, etc) -Cory * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I'll investigate that further. Again, that sentence makes very little sense. Recording a PVR-350 capture onto DVD requires at most remultiplexing... not another encode. The quality of the MPEG does not change when you rename the file. The quality of the *playback* depends on the player and its associated codecs. I thought Winders was so broken out of the box that it was unable to play MPEG-2 (i.e. DVD) and had to buy some other doodad to make DVD playing functional?... or does media player come less brain-dead now? -Cory (sorry for being surly... bad morning) * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

In theory the 350 records in a native mpeg-2 format. I should be able to just rename the nuv to mpg and everything work. Sadly, this is not the case. The video quality playing back as an mpeg is terrible. Yes, it does play but very poorly. I've also tried to create a DVD from the files with the same results (using Mythdvdburn). Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? I am not an expert by any means. The standard dvd bitrate is 10800 at 720x480 resolution so the closer you can get to those standards the better your picture will be. I record my material at 720x480 with a 6000/8000peak capture setting and the results are great. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
