MythTV Filters is a collection of DirectShow filters and applications that enables playback of MythTV nuv files on Windows.
Note that there is no MPEG4 codec included with this package, so if you record in MPEG4 you have to get a MPEG4 codec separately.
- The MPEG4 codec from 3ivx seems to work well.
- The codec from divx.com also works, but sometimes the picture gets blocky.
MythTV uses two different types of nuv files. One is nupplevideo format and that is what DSMyth filters can read.
This is the format you get when you choose mpeg4 or rtjpeg as video codec in MythTV.
The other format is when you have a card that can do hardware mpeg encoding (pvr-250/pvr-350) or a dvb card and in this case the nuv file is just a mpeg file with the extension .nuv insted of .mpg.
To play this type of files you need some mpeg2 filters (for example those that comes with dvd playback software)
Most of the shell extensions will work with mpeg files too, the file information property page will not work, only the database propertypage will.
The extra columns in windows explorer will also work except for "Dimensions" and "Duration".
