[mythtv-users] OT - Codec for NEXUS DVB MPEG

[Derek Conniffe]

Yes - I'll try different codecs (if I can) - I do have a MPEG2 codec 
installed because recordings made with the PVR350 (RF antenna) play fine 
but recordings made with the Nexus-S dont.  Strange because on the 
MythTV box the PVR350 can play the Nexus-S recordings perfectly so it 
must be a "funny" MPEG2 format - that the PVR350 likes but whatever 
MPEG2 codec I'm using doesn't like.  I'll checkout different codecs to 
see if one works.
