I'm pretty sure nobody is working on this, and I would really like to
see this as a feature, as long as the fact that (for the most part) what
you reffer to as mpeg2 encoding, would become libavcodec supported
encoding. This would also have the side effect (if i'm not mistaken) of
adding (with a little effort) support for this to mythtranscode.
