I didn't find those entries on the wiki (looking for "mythweb rss"). It 
might work, but the integration doesn't seems to be very tied. ant the 
second one reinvent the wheel. all the job is already in 
module/tv/recorded.php
I just wrote the template to generate the feed, the only probleme so for 
is to be able to access to the feed.
I need to be able "force" the rss template through the url.
at the the moment I put an rss parameter in the url and hard coded the 
template "redirection".

For the encoding part, it is mostly done in in the stream part of mythweb.

I am talking about writing code, but you might be right, the users do it 
when the devs enjoy tv ;)
Besides the discussion start on the users list 
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/337645) without hint 
from the devs, so ...
