I don't know much about transcoding, but I /think/ that whichever 
profile (Default, High Quality, Low Quality or Live TV) you set as 
"Autodetect from MPEG-2" (assuming an MPEG-2 source recording) is the 
one that's used when a transcode is triggered from MythWeb or started 
using X in TV Playback (versus selecting the job specifics in Watch 
Recordings).  So just set up High Quality as your autodetect profile.
