On my system, MythArchive defaults to not transcode recordings *IF* they're 
already in a DVD-compatible format. It defaults to SP only if the recording 
isn't already DVD-compatible. You should check the MythArchive settings 
screens to be sure that the "always transcode" option (or similar phrasing; I 
haven't checked to be sure that's precisely what it's called) is not set. You 
should also verify that you're creating DVD-compatible recordings. There are 
a limited set of image sizes and other options that are permissible on DVDs, 
and if yours isn't one of them (for instance, if you record at 640x480), 
MythArchive will insist on transcoding.
