Yes; I do this.

Mythtranscode can transcode the recordings in-place, so everything
else remains the same (program information, etc.).

There is mythtranscode option to preserve the original recording, if
you care about that.

Various other options exist to transcode+export recordings, but the
result is not integrated with MythTV "TV recordings" (those tools are
more targeted at export into MythVideo, or be burned to DVD).
