Right.  It was just less confusing, internally, to have all 
Myth-recorded files use the same extension.

None.  Myth does not produce 'real' NuppelVideo files.  Isaac modified 
the Nuppel container format for his own purposes.  The 'vanilla' 
NuppelVideo format only uses RTjpeg and (IIRC) raw audio.  Isaac made 
modifications to the format to support using MPEG-4 video and mp3 
audio, as well as other modifications to support certain other Myth 
features, I think.  This is why a 'vanilla' copy of MPlayer will play 
regular Nuppel files but not Myth Nuppel files.
