Transcoding settings for DVR

Yes and no, hdd’s aren’t free, and more programs is more complexity…
Now that ComSkip is integrated into plexdvr, it would only make sense to allow setting quality options for those recordings. Why install handbrake or ffmpeg more than once (in plexdvr and again in a standalone transcoding system).
Providing us a settings option box to set our desired settings, would be a nice all in one solution.
I would like to see a settings menu - dvr option, to set recording conversion settings, and a option in the program recording setting panel, along side where you want the recording placed, that would allow choices from your set conversion settings.
Also, allowing us to simply ONLY use plex, instead of additional programs will give us better utilization of system resources…, by allowing us to set the max transcodes - that would apply to Both the viewers And the space saving conversions, as opposed to now, which basically requires, either we don’t have as many potential conversions as possible, or they interfere with each other…
