I've been wondering this for a while: Will the new version of MythBurn be capable of this sort of thing? Seems like a nice feature. I don't really want to switch to mpeg-4 unless MythBurn supports it, but 170M/half hour with Mpeg-4 is a really nice CPU savings over 1GB/half hour with Mpeg-2. 17% of the size. :) But maybe that's just the compression for anime like Naruto and FMA. Maybe normal TV shows don't compress quite so well? I also wonder how badly the quality would degrade, going from my PVR 350's Mpeg-2 -> Mpeg-4 for disk storage, then back to Mpeg-2 for DVD burning. I suppose I could always buy a hardware Mpeg-4 encoder though. Anyway, seems like a desirable feature.
