Since I have reaped the benefits of this mail list I wanted to give
something back. This may be obvious or old information so bare with me. In
my pursuit of a MythTV box I never came across this information so it may
help someone else who is in a similar position.
From day one I wanted to be able to download shows from my MythTV box,
convert them, and burn to DVD. I am a life long Windows user and did not
think this was possible to go from .nuv to something Windows could
understand. I read how you had to use nuvexport or nuv2avi. Well, I am
here to tell you that this is not at all necessary. For all you Windows
users out there, all you have to do is download the .nuv file through a
Samba mount on your MythTV box and rename the extension to .mpg and it will
work perfectly. Keep in mind I am using Windows XP Pro with the latest
version of Media Player. Once you have the file renamed you can throw it in
a program like Nero and it will transcode and burn no problem. I hope this
information helps some of you newbs out there.
Dowload DirectShow Filter to see what show you are downloading from your
Samba mount.
