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

[Neil Davidson]

You will need a player that can understand the MPEG-2 TS formatted files.
Media player doesn't if memory serves. MPEG-2 files on DVDs etc. are PS
(Program Stream) files, broadcast MPEG-2 is TS (Transport Stream). TS files
are much better at withstanding bandwidth issues and dripped packets etc. 

I usually use Media Player Classic on Windows (you can get it from
Doom9.org, there is also a lot of information in the DVB guides about
creating DVDs from DVB sources etc.)

I'd say this is only a small bit off topic - its not a MythTV issue.

When I record programmes on a Nexus-S DVB card they play perfectly through
the PVR350 output - so it looks like the PVR likes the MPEG2 (?) that the
Nexus-S provides.

But I cannot play the files through Windows Media Player and MythWeb (using
MythTV filters and myth:// URLs in MythWeb) - Windows Media player complains
about no codec to play back the files with.  Recordings make with the PVR350
play back perfectly in Media Player so it looks like there is a difference
in the file formats from each card.

Does anyone know of a Codec for Windows that will playback Nexus-S DVB MPEG
files?

Thanks,

Derek
