 As a result of some bugs, and the removal of ATSC as a valid TV Format
 (see #4343 and #7966), transcoding with resizing to HD resolutions is
 broken.

 There are a couple pieces to this issue.

 First, the limitation of NTSC sources to SD resolutions seems to be wrong,
 if ATSC HD content is meant to be included in the meaning of NTSC (see
 [http://code.mythtv.org/trac/browser/mythtv/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/recordingprofile.cpp#L1128
 recordingprofile.cpp:1128]).

 Just above that is an override to allow full HD resolutions when
 transcoding.  But mythtranscode does not set the transcoding flag when
 loading a recording profile.  This seems to be becaue the logic to
 identify when transcoding is active is based on the profile name starting
 with "Transcoders"
 ([http://code.mythtv.org/trac/browser/mythtv/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/recordingprofile.cpp#L1117
 recordingprofile.cpp:1117]).  But that is normally the profile group name,
 not the profile name.  The profile group name is not passed in.

 Workaround: only use custom transcoding profiles, and name all of them
 "Transcoders - whatever".

 That does nothing for the posibility of an analog HD source, of course.
