[mythtv-users] Filesizes screwy?

[Professa Fresh]

Here's my profile settings, which I think are the defaults (at least  
for Knoppmyth).  All my schedules are set to record using the Default  
profile and then transcode (which I think uses the autodetect from  
RTjpeg/MPEG4).

Recording profiles (software v4l):
Default: 480x480, RTjpeg @ quality 170, MP3 sound sampling rate 32000  
@ quality 7
Live TV: 480x480, RTjpeg @ quality 170, MP3 sound sampling rate 32000  
@ quality 7

Transcoders:
Autodetect from RTjpeg/MPEG4: 480x480 RTjpeg @ 170, MP3 32000 @ 7
All other profiles are exactly the same, which I believe are the  
Knoppmyth defaults.

Do I even need to be transcoding?
