Nope. Mythtranscode doesn't support H.264 (not with autodetect at least).
Eg:

$ mythtranscode -e dvd -i recordings/2002_20100326081400.mpg -o tmp/test.mpg
2010-03-26 10:22:21.410 Using runtime prefix = /usr
...
2010-03-26 10:22:22.215 Transcode: Looking for autodetect profile:
Autodetect from 720p
2010-03-26 10:22:22.233 Transcode: Couldn't find profile for : H.264
2010-03-26 10:22:22.233 Transcoding aborted, no profile found.

Have you tried clvc (CLI based VLC) to get what you want? That's what I use
for transcoding H.264 to other formats.
