I use the "PS3" profile when I want it to look good.

KISS says: Install HandbrakeCLI on the backend and create an appropriate
user job to push it into MythVideo :)

Just a pseudo user job example:
HandbrakeCLI -Z PS3 -i "/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/%FILE%" -o
"/var/lib/mythtv/videos/%TITLE%_%STARTTIME%.mp4"

Calling a well written shell script would be the best bet.
