The built-in mythtranscode, with the MPEG-4 codec. The transcodes were
made three years ago, though, so I'm not sure I could give you the
exact options I used. The source material is always MPEG2. The
resulting recordings replaced the source in Watch Recordings: In other
words, I did in-place transcoding as opposed to exporting them to
MythVideo.

I don't know why the first one is labeled mpeg2video when, as noted, I
always used MPEG-4 when transcoding.
