Just set up a User Job for it.  You enter a command line to be executed
in mythtv-setup, something like
/usr/local/bin/mytranscodescript  %DIR%/%FILE%

Then kick off the user job either manually from the recording list, or
do it automatically by checking Auto User Job in the recording profile
for the show.  Check out http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Jobs if
you need more info about what variables you can use.
