[mythtv-users] Extracting Mpeg2 streams from NUV (for DVD playback)

[Aaron Stewart]

There's an option in test_ioctl from ivtv to output in dvd compliant
mpeg2 rather than the default MPEG2-PS..

Use:

/usr/bin/test_ioctl -c stream_type=10

Or something to that effect.. Don't know if it'll help, but it's a step.

Cheerz,
Aaron
