[mythtv-users] HOWTO: .nuv->.avi else *without* the database?

[Cory Papenfuss]

 	Here's a situation that only I could get myself info.  I formerly 
exported PVR-250 captures manually (copy MPEG2 .nuv elsewhere, then delete 
from database).  Recently, I've been using the NUV&SQL portion of 
nuvexport to do the same, but a little cleaner.  For less important shows, 
I wanted to use XViD codec and cut commercials via the mythfrontend.  That 
part works fine... much reduced filesize from the MPEG2->XViD transcode 
from within the MythTV GUI.

 	Now, I was going to burn the captures onto a disc to play them on 
a computer, but I discovered that MPlayer can't play them.  I've always 
considered MPlayer capable of playing *anything*.  Of course Winders can't 
play them either.

 	Apparently, using mythtranscode or nuvexport->AVI directly is the 
correct way to do this.  Without inserting all this crap back in the 
database so these two programs function, can I manually re-wrap the .nuv 
into an .avi?  I don't want to transcode, just remux into a "normal" video 
container (with the XViD-codec).


Thanks... (from the "why must I make everything complicated:")
