[MPlayer-advusers] ID_DEMUXER=nuv + ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=RJPG --> no picture ?!

[tormen at gmx.net]

Hi.

The problem seems to be the RJPEG video format and not the .nuv 
container, because videos with divx video format in a .nuv container are 
being played by mplayer!

?

I spoke with some mythtv guys and they said:

Question: I know. But as I posted above someone from the
mplayer mailinglist told me about default values for the "quantizers".
Do they exist in mythtv?
Answer: no
Question: So I would just need to tell mplayer: Hey use these 
default values instead of 0.
Answer: I still think that quantizers are for encoding, not 
decoding.

?

So what is missing mplayer to play the movie that mythtv does not?
(and why? ;)

As you wrote on your website "support for some more MythTV NUV files" 
and as the mythtv guys tell me that they are the only ones using the 
.nuv format nowerdays, I am hoping that someone will help me here.


Greetings,

tormen.
