It is actually pretty easy with ffmpeg to get a good re-encode. It includes some default 'targets' such as svcd and DVD that make doing what you're talking about relatively easy. Search the archives for my e-mails I recently attached a copy of the user job I use to transcode for viewing on XBMC. It uses ffmpeg options '--target ntsc-svcd'. The wiki contains the information you'll need to add it in as a user job (some sql commands).

We already have MPEG4 and RTjpeg but why not MPEG2? I will definitely check out your suggestion though since apparently MPEG2 isn't supported for "built-in" transcoding.
