It works for most of the recordings but 'transcodes' implies a decode + encode cycle.

With what hardware? With what encoder? Mythtv is not, that I recall (but perhaps I mis-remember what mythtv is), an MPEG-2 encoder. IF that is true, then mythtv must be invoking an encoder of some kind. AGAIN, how/where/with-what is that encoding being done? Is Mythtv capturing raw uncompressed data and encoding later - if so with what program and what options? IF it is doing realtime encoding, then ATAIN, with what program and what options? Is Mythtv capturing data from an external MPEG-2 encoder chip? IF so then WHICH ONE? ALL of those would provide more detailed information tna "mythtv ... set bit rate to 9 Mb/s". If Mythttv is NOT an encoder then it is passing that "9 Mb/s" thru to something else. What is that something else? At this point the only advice that can be given is "try using 8 Mb/s".
