Nope... it's just historical cruft. It's an MPEG2 file named with
a .nuv extension. It's been discussed on the list before and so far not
worth the bother of "fixing." Do a
'file /mnt/store/10*.nuv' and you'll see:
/mnt/store/1004_20041002115600_20041002120100.nuv: MPEG system stream data
something like that.
