[mythtv-users] Re: Transcode issues at "excellent" quality setting

[Nick Fasano]

Just wanted to say that after updating to 0.15, my transcode problem is 
now gone.  Now that transcode is working, I wanted to see if I can set 
up some additional quality settings, something like "Excellent 16:9" 
and "Excellent 2.35:1" where the latter setting would introduce some 
cropping of the letterboxes.  The thing I don't quite understand is why 
there are three quality settings (not including "perfect" since there's 
no transcoding of that one) and there are eleven entries in the 
dvdtranscode table in mythconverg.  For instance, for "good" quality, 
there are eight(!) different entries, with different values.  How does 
it decide which to use?  Does it just pick the first one and the others 
are just superfluous?  I thought I should ask this before I go messing 
around too much.

Thanks,
Nick
