This *is* possible. You simply increase the quantisation for each block using the original motion vectors and motion compensation / DCT modes. This would be monumentally faster than an encode from scratch. The current work I am doing splitting mpeg2enc into a two seperate phases (one motion estimation / compensation / DCT selection) another DCT transform and bit-encoding would make it a lot easier to build a transcoder of this kind.
