No. In addition to the post-processing option, you *also* need to set up your Hardware Recording Profile (e.g., "Default" or whatever you are using) to enable auto-transcode. The idea is that some capture cards already have hardware-assist for encoding (PVR-x50), which can be configured for your desired disk space consumption rate at capture time. Others have no encoding capability at all (HD-3000), so recordings made by those cards must be post-processed by mythtranscode to save disk space. On a system with both kinds of cards, you would only need auto-transcode for recording profiles for the encoder-less pieces of hardware. --Rob
