Agree with PD that recordings would be for things I want to keep (i.e. films). However, this is not always the case.

So maybe some sort of rule on what is transcoded, or maybe just make it manual?

random ideas: transcode where genre is "film", transcode anything over 1hr.. etc?? hmm

What I wouldn't want is for it to transcode everything, then someone goes and cant find a recording, or cant play it, etc.

---------------------

OK another idea, and maybe too much work - but write your own recording screen/section. So the screen basically will list all recordings, and also list any transcoded recordings, as it is your own screen/plugin, could you then make it use the built in video player - so it can play the MP4?? too much work?

So much for my "easy" idea..
