Your problem is most likely that you don't have your transcode
profiles properly set up.
You can find your current transcode profile settings by running the SQL command:
mysql> select r.* from recordingprofiles r,profilegroups p where
p.name='Transcoders' and p.id=r.profilegroup;
This should give you something that looks like this:
+----+----------------+------------+------------+--------------+
| id | name | videocodec | audiocodec | profilegroup |
+----+----------------+------------+------------+--------------+
| 21 | RTjpeg/MPEG4 | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 22 | MPEG2 | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 27 | High Quality | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 28 | Medium Quality | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 29 | Low Quality | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
+----+----------------+------------+------------+--------------+

You need to set up your transcode profiles by going to Utilities/Setup -> Setup
-> TV Settings -> Recording Profiles -> Transcoders.
For example, I use a PVR-250, so as a default I use the Autodetect
from MPEG2 profile. The default settings should work fine.
You also need to set the default transcoder in: Utilities/Setup ->
Setup - TV Settings -> General (page 3 or so).
