Many standalone MPEG 4 DVB-T receivers here in Europe have a USB slot, which allows you to record the MPEG 4 broadcast on a thumbdrive. However, they record in a weird format with a .pvr extension. Since it's unlikely that those MPEG 4 receivers have a encoder/converter of any kind, the pvr format is probably the video and audio streams of the broadcast placed in a weird container (as to avoid the mess with the patents of the mp4 container).
The question is: How can i take the streams from the pvr file and mux them into an mp4 file? Is there any open source program to do that?
Are there any open source implementations of the pvr container (ffmpeg)?
I 've searched around Google a bit, but all I found was "shareware" programs that convert pvr to mp4 by re-encoding.
PS: A similar file to .pvr is .svt which is produced by some Samsung TVs (with DVB-T), so i was wondering if there was a program to convert svt files too.
