http://www.google.com/search?q=free+mpeg2+encoder

The first hit is for the site www.free-codecs.com/download/FreeEnc.htm
"FreeEnc is a free MPEG-2 encoder, which uses avcodec library to encode. 
This encoder takes  AVISynth input(.avs) and outputs MPEG2 like  QuEnc, but 
the main difference is that every parameter is tweakable, plus it comes with 
the optimized parameters of MencodeMe, which are known to produce great 
quality."

The third hit is for www.videohelp.com/tools/HC
"HC is a free MPEG2 Encoder. Input can be a d2v project or input using 
Avisynth. 2 pass VBR encoding."
