If you're transcoding you're transcoding to MPEG4. The reason for
doing so is space that's it.
Right. Basically, better picture for any given bitrate (size).
However, if you transcode a digital broadcast, you will be losing
quality. The MPEG-2 used to encode the original is a lossy format, and
when you decode it and re-encode in MPEG-4, another lossy format, you've
reduced the quality. Better than re-encoding to MPEG-4 is buying more
disks...
