[mythtv-users] Nuvexport settings?

[Scott Pouliot]

If I were to setup a profile like that....wouldn't MythTV still export an
NUV file?  I was under the impression that these files were of a different
format....and that nuvexport converted them to MPG.

If I can go straight to MPG.....then that's a MUCH better option for me.  I
don't really care how big the file is....LoL  Got anymore info on this for
me?

I'll fart around with it in Myth and see what I can come up with....

Thanks!

If you have a PVR-250, why do you need nuvexport?  Can't you just set up
your profile to record 480x480 at 2500bps MPEG-2 w/44.1 kHz audio?  Unless you
want to cut the commercials out; then you need nuvexport, but I don't know
if you can do that yet without reencoding... code has been going into CVS
lately to support MPEG-1/2 cutting without reencoding, but I haven't really
been tracking it, since I haven't installed my M-179s yet :-)
