It's not all the difference... and so far you cant do batch transcodings...
but maybe soon you can.

I'm sure they're using ffmpeg, which is good, free and open source but
has a significant disadvantage in terms of the latest codecs.

If Dreamhost licenses the On2 FLV encoder, then they'll have the same
stuff used by just about every video upload portal on the web today.
This can convert just about any format to FLV.

Well, basically, sure.  But On2 is expensive and doesn't do everything
itself.  It also doesn't provide super-wide compatibility.  MPEG-2, for
example, is unsupported iirc.

On2 is definately the standard right now for providing Sufficient flv
transcoding needs.
Since Dreamhost is obviously tinkering with ideas and giving their customers
some basic tools like this
I would not be surprised if they added On2 as part of a more robust solution
and start marketing it accordingly.  They have now been dabbling in ways to
archive your media forever, sell your media, share your media and now
transcode and display your media.  Maybe they build a wordpress plugin that
gets included with the one-click install process which binds that publishing
platform with their own hosted services to make it easy to publish media...
to vlog and podcast etc.  Feasible.  A turn-key solution on top of their
existing hosting platform would only take some focus and could become quite
popular...

It's a nice step from Dreamhost ! Whithin a few years, every serious hosting
service will have a media transcoding service included.

ffmpeg is quite robust and since this summer the flv support is quite good,
you can install it easily on your own dreamhost account also
http://www.catmindeye.com/media/2006/07/installing_ffmpeg_on_dreamhost.html!
With some tweaks, it support mp4 files. I have a test server (with a
ffmpeg converting tool) running on a Crazy Domain plan. And it works quite
well : http://dev.podesk.com/guest.php/
