[mythtv] MythTV: Windows frontend

I can't seem to get these filters working either.  I've installed it
twice (installed both filters and shell extension) and neither work for
me.

I'm trying this on WinXP Pro.  The shell extension gets installed but
the 'MythTV File Info' tab shows 'This file is not a valid MythTV nuv
file' for a file that was recorded using Myth 0.11 using a PVR250.
Trying to play the file with MediaPlayer or ZoomPlayer tells me it's an
unrecognized format.

I've also installed ffdshow and saw no difference in behavior.  I have
both DivX and XVid installed.  If I simply rename the nuv file to mpg it
plays just fine in both players.  Did I do something wrong here?

Thanks,

Tim
