[mythtv-users] about transcoding and auto-transcoding

Hey all. Just wondering if transcoding and auto-transcoding has
documentation somewhere, as I'm a bit fuzzy as to what it is and how it
all works.
My impression was that setting a recording to auto-transcode will
convert (after finished recording of course) from native mpeg2 (large
filesize) down to divx or xvid or something with much smaller size. Is
that about right?
Currently I have a 30 min daily tv show scheduled with auto-flag
commercials and auto-transcode with default profile and autodetect
transcoder. Recorded 30 minute shows are still 1.1G in size. The info
in mythweb shows
has commflag: yes has cutlist: no is editing: no auto-expire: yes has
bookmark: yes
Which seems pretty normal, except the size of 1.1G is pretty big, or is
that indeed a smaller size.
Also is transcoding related to the nuvexport script?
So my question is how can I tell if auto-transcoding is working, and if
it is working, is 1.1G for 30 minutes normal?
If it's not working, what results should I have?
TIA (again :)
