[mythtv-users] export of mythtv NUV files not in DB

Hi, I'm trying to transcode several MythTV MPeg4 NUV files to DVD standard compliant MPeg2. The files are not in my MythTV database, which makes nuvexport not so good for this (though I really like it - it's great for files that are in the DB). Does anyone have a transcode or mencoder or etc.

Guys, if there's one thing I've learned over many years of conversing in mailing lists and newsgroups, it's that nobody benefits from bickering. At some point, you have to just acknowledge that you're never going to convince the other person your point of view is correct, and move on. At the
