Bug in Windows PVR?

I'm using GiP v2.94 - at present I have no need to upgrade. I use the
Windows based PVR.

Whilst the default for t.v. downloads is 'best' for HDD quality my
computer cannot play these smoothly. So for t.v. progs I manually set
the Recording Mode to 'good' and then click on Apply Settings.

However the download is reported as being flashhigh1, even though
flashstd1 is actually used.

INFO: Checking existence of default version
INFO: flashhigh1,flashhigh2,flashstd1,flashstd2 modes will be tried
for version default
INFO: Trying flashhigh1 mode to record tv: Planet Earth II - 2. Mountains

and the frame rate etc. is thus - which indicates flashstd1:

frame=81096 fps=473 q=-1.0 size=  315811kB time=00:54:03.84 bitrate=
797.5kbits/s
frame=81594 fps=474 q=-1.0 size=  317721kB time=00:54:23.74 bitrate=
797.5kbits/s
frame=81843 fps=474 q=-1.0 size=  318721kB time=00:54:33.70 bitrate=
797.6kbits/s
frame=82957 fps=479 q=-1.0 size=  323024kB time=00:55:18.27 bitrate=
797.5kbits/s

Is this 'bug' perpetuated in later versions?
