Yes, that is what the script is doing.

You can use ffmpeg to transcode the stream. This can be done quite easy by writing a simple shell script.
Take a look at http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Externremux.sh#externremux.sh_.282.29

fine
but seems to me the CPU shouldis very powerful. Has somebody the experience - which cpu should be for transcode of 720i channels from mpeg2 to h264

Yes, sure. I have only transcoded mpeg2 to a low-resolution h264, to be able to watch TV trough the internet.
I also read in the internet[1], that x264 is utilizing multiple cpu-cores for h264 encoding, so I can imagine that encoding h264 on a Dual/Quad-Core CPU can be faster that decoding it...
