[mythtv-users] Transcoding settings advice

Well, now; that's tricky.
When I saw the setting so low (with the minimum quality at a higher number
than the maximum), I thought I must already have gone through at some point
in the past and stupidly modified the default.
That explains a whole lot. Could you tip me off as to where in the original
database SQL to find the default values, so that I can start this over with
sane values?
Thanks for the clue,
DAM

Higher quality is a lower number. From what you said, you've got it set at
the lowest quality. 'Modifying the default may have severe consequences' is
the help text for those settings for a reason =)
