Better yet, delete the custom profiles so it will use the defaults
for the card type and avoid this confusion in the future. From the
keys.txt file:


Recording Profiles Setup Screen

- D on a custom profile group displays a popup to delete the group.

D'OH!

Lots of folks with hardware encoders use auto transcode as well to save space.

There you go; mystery solved. That is why MythTV is transcoding your
programs after they've been recorded, and why you're ending up with
480x480 recordings.

In your case, you've decided there is no need to enable
auto-transcode. Turn off the checkbox if this feature doesn't meet
your needs.

As for why this feature exists at all, it is because not everyone has
a hardware encoder, so things need to be transcoded after the fact in
less-than-real-time.

Probably not, I'll have to check. But why should that matter? Im not
asking MythTV to transcode my recordings once theyve been recorded.
After all, that would just result in more loss of quality. I'm trying to
get to the point were my recording profiles are as such that I can more
or less directly burn my recordings to DVD without any need of
re-encoding or transcoding.

Ok, I just checked it, and the first page says "Automatically transcode
after recording".

But whats the point in enabling that? I do NOT want to have to re-encode
my recordings. And since they are being recorded at 480x480 resolution
anyway, resizing them through transcoding is utterly pointless.
