Thanks. I'll check it out. > > Your .NUV files from a PVR-250 should be around 2 GB an hour.

Have you tried running "mythtvsetup" to set > up your PVR-250 as an input? Yes - it's all setup using mythtv-setup. The specific MythTV version and flags are here: dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv mythtv These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

I think they are mpeg and while I do get some message that say mplayer isn't perfectly happy with them they do play correctly and look OK, other than some interlacing/decoding stuff I see. If I play one using mplayer in part I'm seeing this: ========================================================================== Opening video decoder: [mpegpes] MPEG 1/2 Video passthrough VDec: vo config request - 720 x 480 (preferred csp: Mpeg PES) Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...

The nuv files I'm getting from MythTV right now are more on the order of 800MB-1GB/minute. To me that seem more like raw video but I could certainly be wrong. My next experiment is to plow away the current setups for the PVR-250 and redo them. The current setup uses /dev/v4l/video0. I want to try it with /dev/video0 which is what works from the command lne but I'm not sure how to have all this in MythTV and make sure it's really doing what I want it to do. Thanks for the info! I don't need to record SNL tonight. I would like to. That's my goal, but it's not worth installing Windows here.
