[mythtv] MPEG-2 by default?

[John S Flowers]

That's basically the same problem I'm having. The thing that really 
stinks is having to convert from one format to another to burn a DVD. 
It's working, but it's a pain and doesn't really allow you to watch TV 
while you're burning a DVD.

Hmm. The search continues...
