Not really. The concept of pre-defined settings for recording rules has
been discussed, but no one has submitted any code, yet.
However, there are some one-off "hacks" in the settings, which just
happen to take care of the two you mentioned explicitly:
Auto Expire Default
When enabled, any newly recorded programs will be marked as eligible for
Auto-Expiration. Existing recordings will keep their current value.
(in frontend settings, General, General (Autoexpire))
Default Auto Transcode setting
This is the default value used for the Auto-Transcode setting when a new
scheduled recording is created.
(in frontend settings, General, General (Jobs)--the page after the above
setting)
