I ran into similar issues with nuvexport. What I have done (which seems to work just fine) is to cut commercials out with this program:
If you're hitting swap, then one of the nuvexport calls is broken and the fifo is getting disconnected (audio or video), which causes mythtranscode to continue to write to the fifo (which is cached in RAM).

Which program? commercial_cut or avidemux? afaik, avidemux is the ONLY program capable of cutting mpeg files at places other than the GOP (necessary for cutting commercials, which may or may not fall on a GOP edge) without reencoding everything.
I then transcode with mencoder which seems to do well with the HD stream contained inside Myth's nuv container.
Once and for all, please learn that THERE ARE NO HD nupplevideo files from myth, unless you use mythtranscode to convert them to mpeg4. If you record HD, what you see called .nuv is really an mpeg2 TS (or PS, depending on settings) file. Only thing that makes it not look like an mpeg is the fact that the filename says .nuv instead of .mpg. Same goes for files recorded from pvr-x50 cards. They're *not* nupplevideo, but standard mpeg recordings in standard mpeg containers.
Currently, and I don't know why, nuvexport does NOT work with TS files. I haven't had time to debug it (only recently got an air2pc card), and don't really know enough about ffmpeg/transcode/mencoder to figure out how to make them work. (I'm open to help if anyone knows how)
