[mythtv-users] nuvexport without transcoding?

[Joel McKee Cooper]

After downloding nuvexport and playing with it a bit, my basic 
understanding is that it uses mythtranscode to decode the .nuv file, and 
then uses ffmpeg to re-encode the data in the new format.  Is this correct?

If so, has anyone looked into doing a .nuv->.avi conversion without 
re-encoding the data?  For example, if I'm recording .nuv files in mpeg4 
at 640x480, I don't really want to decode the data and then re-encode it 
to convert/export it as an .avi.  Shouldn't it be possible to just 
extract the mpeg4 data and reformat it as an .avi file (or whatever) 
without any additional encoding?

I'm willing to look into writing some code to do this, but I wanted to 
make sure I wasn't re-inventing the wheel :)

Thanks!
