[mythtv-users] specify quality per recording

Hello,

A feature that would be neat to see, especially for those with smaller
hard drives, would be the ability to specify the recording quality for
each scheduled recording. Kind of like on a VCR, where you can specify
standard (2hrs per tape) or extended (6hrs per tape). That way, if
you're saving a lot of recordings, you can keep the less important ones
stored at a lower quality (say you record all the Simpsons episodes
each day...just because you like to watch it, not to keep or anything),
while saving disk space for the shows you want to see in the best
quality possible. 

I would assume that this would require changes to the database and the
mythtv program, neither of which would likely be too difficult. 

What's other people's thoughts on a feature like this?
