A NUV file can be many things some cards (the Hauppauge PVR-series as well as any kind of DVB card) produce NUV-files that already are in MPEG2 format but not quite ready to burn onto a DVD. Mythburn changes these files (without reencoding them) to make them DVD-compliant. > At any rate, no one else has any guides/scripts/websites suggestions > on how to (1) burn dvd's from your nuv, or (2) convert to mpeg? What kind of card do you have? If you've got a DVB-card or any of the Hauppauge PVR-cards, mythburn is by far the simplest solution. You've got to install a few tools before the script will work, but you'd have to install those if you were doing it all from the commandline, as well - adding mythburn is just a matter of extracting one more archive and running a setup shell script - after that you have a nice web frontend that's easier to use than the command line and gives you nice DVD menus, too. :-) If your card doesn't produce MPEG2-files, I'm not sure whether there's a a solution out there, since I don't have such a card. > Does anyone know if this will eventually be a natively option directly > from mythtv? Another mail today mentioned that a future version of mythtranscode will handle MPEG2-re-packaging, so one of these days there'll probably be a "Burn DVD" option in the frontend at least for the cards outlined above. I don't think anything like that's in SVN or planned for thext relase, though. Besides, with its integration into mythweb, mythburn is "almost-native" :-) Give it a try if your card is supported. I did and - as you can probably tell - I was impressed.
