I get those transport streams off the Hauppage DVR (it.s h.264 encoded to start with). So I am certain that mencoder supports h.264 TS streams. What platform are you encoding on? A last resort would be to demultiplex with tsmuxer, encode separately and multiplex the result but that has some drawbacks. Also, mplayer hasn't shown any difficulties in playing them back.
