More wierdness. I can take the transcode command used by the remote frontend from the mtd.log file and run it on the backend machine. No problem. Try to have the mythfrontend running on the backend machine do a dvd rip and it doesn't seem to know how to transcode, offering nothing but "perfect" quality. Mythdvd was build on the backend machine with ./configure --enable-all
How does mythdvd go about deciding what quality levels to offer? Why does one machine offer multiple quality levels while the other one doesn't?
