You might look into the H.264 codec. It's fairly compact and still has good quality in small filesize. Better than XviD/Divx, IMO. A couple of programs to look at: Handbrake, XviD4PSP.

Or StaxRip or Megui and convert to h264 video with aac audio in a mp4 or mkv. Try different encoding profiles in the applications and you might have to checkout different deinterlacings filters. But encoding all those will take a long long time.

You do realize any conversion will be lossy? I'd save those MPeg2. Hard drives are cheap.
