[mythtv-users] transcoding resolution

[Mark J. Small]

Hi everybody,

In my setup, I am recording in mjpeg with my Matrox RRG, and automatically 
transcode when its done to mpeg4 to save space.  I have always transcoded 
using the same resolution as the source (352x240).  

Could I record at a higher resolution (say 708x480) and then transcode to 
something lower (say 512x384)?  Would the transcode handle this or would my 
quality suffer?
