[mythtv-users] how can i turn off autotranscode

[Reza Naima]

This wasn't what I was seeing.  I unchecked the auto transcode box in
the various recording profiles, but it still transcoded.  I also looked
under post recording processsing, and the only options available were
'commercial flag' and the 1 through 4 user specified tasks.  There was
no option for transcode.
