For transcoding HD: - In the recording profiles, check the "automatically transcode" checkbox. All the other stuff in the profile is ignored, since no encoding is performed for HD capture. - Set up your desired transcoding characteristics in the "From MPEG-2/RTjpeg" transcoder (HD capture is MPEG-2); resolution, bitrate, etc.. The other transcoder will not be used. The caveat of this basic functionality is that *all* your HD shows will be transcoded in the same way. You can control whether or not your HD shows get automatically transcoded by assigning the schedules to different recording profiles ("Default", "High Quality", etc.). I have a patch to allow selection between multiple transcoders for HD content (e.g., "high quality", "medium quality", "low quality"), and have been using it in my own system for quite some time. It hasn't been committed to CVS yet. If you're feeling adventurous: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/129254 This is how I determined that HD transcoding ought to be do-able in a little over 1x real-time with my system characteristics. --Rob
