I think you can use mencoder to specify what type of mpeg it turns it into. The gentoo wiki has a good explanation on using it I think;

edit: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mencode...oduction_Guide

note the "mencoder -ovc help" to view what codecs you have available to you.

Compile the Mplayer package from source, that includes mencoder (at least it did for me). I've also used yum to install them both.
