        Why does it save video in this format and not in MPEG-2 video

    If you're using a hardware encoder cars it IS mpeg2 not a
nupplevideo.
        Why Myth format is so large and why can't it be saved in raw
        MPEG-2 video
        stream for later playback?


    You should REALLY search the mailing lists...  This topic has
    been covered to death.

Let's make it clearer, for instance, I use WinTV-PVR-150, it has MPEG-2 encoder, right? So why files stored on hard disk are still in NuppelVideo format?

They're not. They have a .nuv extension, but are in mpeg-2 format. Try
working with them as mpeg-2 files and you won't have a problem.

If you want proof, try file:

$ file 1018_20050115160000_20050115170000.nuv
1018_20050115160000_20050115170000.nuv: MPEG system stream data

This isn't Windows.  File extensions mean nothing.

Some broken operating systems decided to use file extensions as a way of identifying file types because they couldn't figure out how to do it right. *nix doesn't suffer from this inherent limitation of those other OS's.
