Yes.

Seektable in nuv files is only written once the file has finished recording,
but as you probably already know you can watch a recording as its being
recorded.
So you need some way of getting a seektable before the file is finished.

And mpeg files don't have any embedded seektable.

See above.
And chainging container format is not likely to happend (no need for it),
just search the maillist archives.
