[mythtvnz] Advice for encoding ...

[Jim Cheetham]

I'm happily recording programmes from Freeview over satellite, and
ending up with reasonably large files, ~1GB for 35 minutes.

Input #0, mpegts, from 'Children- The Backyardigans - 2009-05-21, 5-30
PM - Untitled.mpg':
  Duration: 00:34:55.1, start: 87115.404422, bitrate: 3221 kb/s
  Program 1
    Stream #0.0[0x202]: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x576 [PAR 64:45
DAR 16:9], 15000 kb/s, 25.00 tb(r)
    Stream #0.1[0x28c]: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 192 kb/s

What would be a reasonable target to convert these to? I'm primarily
interested in a smaller filesize, not really worried about audio or
picture quality ...
