MythTranscode supports transcoding mpeg2 --> mpeg2.  I think most
people tend to use it to trim the beginning 'junk', the commercials,
and the ending 'junk' from their recordings, but I don't see why you
couldn't use it to re-encode your mpeg2 files to a smaller size
(resolution AND bitrate).

Good Luck!
