No. The default setting is not to transcode. Programs don't start the
transcode process until after it's done recording anyway, so you will
get no benefit (and extra CPU time after you've done) if you don't
plan on keeping the recording. If you do decide to keep it, you can
always initiate a transcode job manually when a program finishes.
