I do indeed have a DVB card. I stand humbly corrected on the nuv format. But the Nuppelvideo homepage states: <snip> NEW! The best and coolest Linux video player MPlayer (>=0.60) can play NuppelVideo files! </snip> So what does this mean? Are you saying the nuv extension is used regardless of the content? Under what circumtances does Myth actually produce a real Nuppelvideo file? (Sorry, I'm not being deliberately dense on this) Slightly OT: So if they are MPEG2 can I speed up making DVDs? nuvexport is taking about 4 hours per show.
