I'm starting to explore these options as well. One thing I am doing is
pushing the quality up pretty high on the initial recording. This will give
the transcoder a better quality source to work with, and will help limit
"layered encoding" artifacts (i.e. the original encode has artifacts, which
get multiplied by the re-encode).

The best advice I can give you is to keep copies of your source, and try
multiple transcodes at different quality levels until you find something you
can live with.
