I use a bitrate of 6000 and max of 8500 and I'm happy with that  
quality. YMMV. I can be pretty picky about how something looks and I  
have 3.2TB of storage so I don't have to worry about it.
Actually, I think the mpeg2 cutting profile will be in 0.21 when it's  
released. This might have been added after 0.20 was released. Sorry  
about that, but it's a very compelling reason to upgrade. :)
You might be able to run a manual (or scripted user job) ffmpeg  
command to get what you need but someone else would have to help you  
with that.
