nuvexport question

I know this is not a core mythtv component but I figured the audience
here is suitable.

I am trying to use nuvexport. I grabbed
http://forevermore.net/files/nuvexport-latest.tar.bz2

[.note: I found no information regarding the package on this site
and no README or such in the above archive. Had to install it in
order to see what it does]

When I started it I got this menu:
-------------------- quote start
Using ffmpeg for exporting.
What would you like to do?

1. Export to XviD (disabled)
2. Export to SVCD
3. Export to VCD
4. Export to DVCD (VCD with 48kHz audio for making DVDs)
5. Export to DVD
6. Export to DivX (disabled)
7. Export to ASF (disabled)
8. Export to MP3 (disabled)
9. MPEG2->MPEG2 cut only (disabled)
10. Export to .nuv and .sql

q. Quit

Choose a function:
-------------------- quote end


I have no idea why some exports are disabled, I went through the man
page and did not find any explanation.

1) I would like to know why these are disabled and how to enable them.

2) I would probably benefit from knowing what dependencies this package
has so that I install missing required packages.

3) My nuvs are automatically transcoded to mpeg4. All I really want to do
is extract the streams unmolested (as is) into an avi for others to watch
on windows. Which of the above 10 options should I use?

I an on Debian/testing.

Odd. Guess I forgot to write a README for it. my bad.

As for the lack of more info on the website, there's a blurb at
http://forevermore.net/mythtv/ (which as I look at it is horribly out of
date), and as soon as the man pages are updated (they're quite outdated,
I don't know how to make man pages), I'll give it a real home.

You could try selecting one of them.. It will then tell you why it's
disabled.

Look at the included .spec file. I know it's redhat-specific, but the
package names aren't that different between distros.

In that case, you probably want nuv2avi, not nuvexport.

That's exactly what I want to do. I have a PVR-250, and I transcoded to
MPEG-4 to save space and cut commercials. Now I have a friend that
wants to see the show, and I'm trying to make a copy for him.

All I've read in the archives suggests that it could be done if someone
wrote some more code to do it, but such code doesn't exist. The problem
area is in keeping the audio sync.

Personally, I would consider it a huge win if this could be made to
work.
