I have posted one that i use in conjunction with my Roku as a user job. 
I actually run two of them - one that just transcodes, and one that hard
cuts the commericals out.  This was developed by the people who made the
mythroku channel for the roku - I just slightly tweaked for myself. 
Basically, it uses handbrake - you can modify the size/bitrate as
needed.  Many of us use the iphone setting since we use the roku as a
cheap frontend on SD tv's - so you can tweak as needed - I think the
ipad settings will be HD, if that is important, or you can roll your
own..

My original posting, however it doesn't format correctly:

Mostly my tweaks were logging so I didn't get the whole Handbrake
output, and I rerun mythcommflag so the seektable will work properly in
mythfrontend, plus there may have been another that I can't remember...

Github where I took from the original author:
