(looking...) yep, checkbox in mythsetup / general / job queue (Global): "Run
Transcode Jobs before Auto-Commercial Flagging".

Sorry about your problems, it could be that my system is much simpler (a
single FEBE without any extra modules added yet), but transcode works as
advertised here. I assume you have a hauppage card that generates MPEG2?
Here are my settings if you want to try them (I've set them for high-quality
recording even if it takes forever to transcode, which it does), BUT it
sounds like you may have more serious problems with your setup.
mpeg2 encoders
profile name default
auto transcode after recording yes
width 720
height 480
codec mpeg2 hardware encoder
stream type dvd special 2
aspect 4:3
bitrate 6000
max bitrate 8000
sampling rate 48000
type layer 2
bitrate 384 kbps
volume 95
transcoders
transcoders from mpeg2
profile name mpeg2
resize video while transcoding no
width 720
height 480
codec mpeg4
bitrate 2200
max quality 2
min quality 15
max q diff between frames 3
scale bitrate for frame size y
enable hi-quality encoding y
enable interlaced DCT encoding y
enable 4MV encoding
enable interlaced motion estimation
codec mp3
sampling rate 32000
mpeg quality 7
volume 90
Hope this helps, good luck! -MG
