Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] Hauppage 350 .nuv to mpeg-2
The fact that you are supposed to install a special codex to play
them back on a Windows system tells me they aren't true mpeg2.
You need an MPEG2 codec. Nothing more.
Then what's this? http://dsmyth.sourceforge.net/
MPEG2s from a Hauppauge PVR-x50 is stored as ordinary MPEG2 file, even
though the extension is .nuv
Shows that have been compressed by software are stored in a different
format, even though the compression is MPEG2 or MPEG4. To read the
format and extract the MPEG2/4 stream, you need the dsmyth filter
No, I'm saying playing a .nuv file back through the mpeg codex
results in color correction problems and pixelation.
Compared to what? You're going to need to provide more information.
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.
There are different MPEG2 codecs for Windows. F.ex the one that come
with Nero Reloaded do a better job but require 3 times more CPU time
than others that I am using. So maybe you should be more explicit on
which codec you are using.

Just the stock codecs. My goal was to copy the .nuv's, rename to mpeg and
then encode into dvd format but the quality of the mpg's is terrible. Maybe
the stock codecs are what my problem is. I'll investigate that further.

I've written a little VB program that does exactly what you want to do.
It get's the shows name from the database, connects via samba. Copies
and renames the files so I can watch them on my laptop. It's a straight
copy, no fiddlin' at all. I think that you just have a second rate mpeg
2 codec. Of all the bolt on's windows comes with, you would think a
mpeg 2 codec would have come along by now...
