Isn't this the kind of problem VLC was designed for?
http://www.videolan.org/
It supports "on the fly transcoding."
It seems to be popular with people who use the Hauppauge MediaMVP
hardware as a front-end, which can only natively handle MPEG2 video.
VLC's streaming server is used to convert various video formats to MPEG2
on the fly.
