MythTV does not set the profile, causing it to default to Baseline, and
hard codes the level to 1.3. At that configuration, video bitrate is
artificially constrained to 786kbps rather than the 3000kbps you
configured, and the maximum macroblock rates are abysmal. The iPad 3 is
capable of High 4.1, and the Plex encoding is Main 3.1.
Edit this line to a more reasonable level, recompile, and see what happens.
