IIRC mencoder (which is part of mplayer) can do that. There's also this
new project from Real called Helix ( https://helixcommunity.org/ ). I
know somebody is already working on a port. You can still use the closed
source linux version of Real Player as well, but only for replay, no
transcode AFAIK. I'd give mencoder a try, I've used it in the past to
convert between video formats and it works very well.
