[mythtv-users] Setting recording profile with Mythweb and mythbackend, only

Currently, I am looking for a VDR, only, and have setup mythtv backend and
mythweb, only. This works so far. However, I can't get transcoding to
work. Whenever I click on the transcode button, I get the message that
transcoding has failed with error 255 and the message "Please ensure that
recording profiles for the transcoder are set" in the log.

I have googled around and found that normally saving the transcoder
settings in mythtv frontend should work. However... I have not frontend
installed, as currently I'm quite happy with the possibilities offered by
mythweb. Is there any way to create/save a transcoder profile without
installing myth frontend for this purpose?

MythTV Version   : 18207
MythTV Branch    : branches/release-0-21-fixes
Library API      : 0.21.20080304-1
Network Protocol : 40
Options compiled in:
 linux profile using_oss using_alsa using_arts using_jack using_backend
using_dbox2 using_dvb using_firewire using_frontend using_hdhomerun
using_iptv using_ivtv using_joystick_menu using_libfftw3 using_lirc
using_opengl_vsync using_opengl_video using_v4l using_x11 using_xrandr
using_xv using_xvmc using_xvmcw using_xvmc_vld using_glx_proc_addr_arb
using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python using_opengl
using_ffmpeg_threads using_libavc_5_3 using_live

Thanks for any helpful hint you may have, Christian
