I guess this had the whole forum dazzled! :) Here is the answer:
The problem is that we have a duplicate transcode enable flag in the settings. You tell it to enable transcode in the
backend, then tell your scheduled recording to auto-transcode it, yet it does not. I guess you need to enable the
enabled to make transcode work by again allowing transcode on the MPEG-2 Encoders Profiles. There is a flag for "Enable
auto-transcode after recording". I thought I told it to do this when I scheduled it, by selecting "Transcode new
recordings". Does anyone know why this option is here? If you schedule it to auto-transcode, I don't think you should
need to check it in the Encoder setup to get the same job done.
