I am just working on same kind of approach. There is no easy answer because of having inconsistent services/tools.
I tried ffmpeg and mencoder with command line execution but it is too detailed with all possible parameters and not fun at all. Every version of any of these tools also possibly contains some major changes which can cause a real maintenance issues. I also tried Railo CFVideo extension which is a wrapper for ffmpeg and in theory it is a nice solution. BUT, it has an old version of ffmpeg as default and whenever you update the ffmpeg version, it does not work as expected. Railo team can update the wrapper with the latest versions of ffmpeg and even they may accept to offer some commercial support for this task. I asked already and waiting an answer for that. The other solution that I focused is the On2 Flix Engine http://on2.com. It uses mencoder as base and has a good isolated structure with a frequent update periods (not as frequent as ffmpeg). But I am forced to develop a solution on Windows only platform and the COM object that is utilized as wrapper is not stable enough on Win platform. On2 has also sample code for ColdFusion and it is a plus. I also contacted with Rhozet for their commercial solutions but they are not well responsive for possible sales actions. Their Carbon Coder ( http://rhozet.com/carbon_coder.html) was the main engine on Adobe Media Encoder and it would be interesting solution for mass production. If they can learn the sales ... The encoding issue will be always a problem with latest codecs etc. For example having MTS file support is an issue now and hard to figure out a proper solution because of having different standards from different brands etc. Just because of that focusing a solution which has frequent updates would be the right approach. I also may want to hear others experiences, if any.
