In windows, you have to use the dsmyth filters. nothing in windows (or linux, for that matter) properly understands the changes that Isaac has made to the NUV file format -- regardless of what kind of video is inside of it.I'm not sure I buy that. At least 3 different programs allegedly can handle them: 'mythtranscode,' 'nuvexport,' and 'nuv2avi.' The former 2 require the database, and the latter breaks sync when dealing with cut/transcoded MPEG4 .nuv files. Although now that I look through it, 'nuvexport' internally uses mythtranscode and thus *requires* reencoding every time it's invoked.
The winders box I used dsmyth with is a dual PIII-933 so it should have *plenty* of poop to play it. Just so I understand this, let me know if I'm wrong. For *archival* purposes, there are two possibilities:
MPEG2-recorded content:
- Copy ".nuv" file as-is to something else (e.g. avidemux) for commercial cutting, OR
- Use nuvexport's hacky "phantom-X" interface to transfer cutlist to avidemux for lossless MPEG2 copying.
Non-MPEG2 content (e.g. cutlisted and transcoded internal to mythtv):
- No direct export possible since nuvexport must reencode and the .nuv files haven't been successfully converted into something normal externally.
Is that the current state of affairs?
