Not sure if that's a limit of the Nuppel recorder or not, but unless you're
using current CVS, then you can't resize when you transcode.  In 0.17 and
older, the height and width on transcoding profiles were ignored.  I just
put a patch in CVS to allow resizing during transcoding for this very reason.
I just picked up an air2pc card yet don't have anything powerful enough to
play it yet so I am transcoding down to a more managable size. :)

My P3-1Ghz slave backend took about 3 hours to transcode/resize a 1-hour
recording down from 1920x1088 to 352x480 and that wasn't using the high
quality MPEG-4 modes.

You could try bumping these values up in the source and seeing if it works
if no one replies saying that it's possible to go higher.  The limitions are
probably there because regular OTA NTSC isn't good above that.
