I want to take a standard MPEG2 HD recording (from my HD5500) and transcode it down to a version that my PVR350 will play on a standard analog TV. I can successfully use mythtranscode to generate MPEG4 but that overtaxes uses my low powered (800 MHz) CPU (PVR350 only handles MPEG2). I see the MPEG2 -> MPEG2 transcode, but that seems to only remove segments (commercials) leaving the recording in between untouched (lossless). I want an MPEG2 -> MPEG2 lossy transcode.
With the forced march to digital source and all the PVR350's out there I can't believe I'm the only one wanting to do this for backup/workshop viewing. Any ideas?
