Again,<br>
<br>
Now that I have successfully migrated from a PVR-350 to
HDHomeRun and added in some HD channels I want to make
sure that I'm transcoding them properly.<br>
<br>
What I would like to do if possible is setup a rule that
says "if recorded on a HD channel then do a HD transcode,
otherwise do a standard transcode".<br>
<br>
I realize I have two issues, first is how do I setup the
system to prefer HD over none HD, second is how do I
autoselect the transcode method.<br>
<br>
I'm curious what others do to handle this situation.<br>
<br>
My thoughts are that the HD version of my channel should
have all the same shows as the SD version so I could just
set the sytem to record on the HD channel and set it to do
HD transcode but I dont know if they are always the same
shows.<br>
<br>
Love to hear how people handle this. I'm just now
starting to dive into the HD recording portion to make
sure I have that all squared away so would love to hear
any pointers or thoughts on this as well.<br>
<br>
As a side note, the setup of mythtv and HDHR was SOOOOOO
much easier than my old PVR-350 box with IRblasters and
such. I just keep thinking something must be missing as
it cant be this easy.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Larry<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Are you just watching these recordings
then deleting them? If so, then I would bypass
auto-transcoding all together. It is an extra unneeded step
you are placing on your backend.</div>

So I may be mistaking what is actually going on. yes I do normally
just watch and then delete them. For a select few I have a separate
auto-transcode job that converts the files to a more common name and
also makes them "roku" compatible. If also moves them to a
directory that Roku can watch. I think I have the ffmpeg setup
converted correctly for that piece so now I just want to make sure I
have the HD being recorded/transcoded/saved (or whatever the proper
term may be) to the best they can be for watching via the
web/frontend. I may be bringing in knowledge artifacts from my
PVR-350 days when you could tell what quality to save. Its the old
I dont know what I dont know so I'm trying to think of all the
things I could need to change going from SD to HD.<br>
