Yeah. If that's kilobits rather than kilobytes, I guess it would take
about 4-5 hours to upload each gigabyte.
And I'd imagine that anyone who is very concerned with maximum quality
in high resolution is going to want to do it themselves. Or, as
Adrian says, people who want to play with
But for most standard web video purposes, I'd imagine people are going
to be distributing approx 10 minute videos - and uploading h264
versions that are already compressed to a few hundred meg or even
smaller.
And then they'd put in their own personalised settings into Heywatch
to transcode
Heywatch would be great except... all that time UPLOADING an
uncompressed (or dv or whatever you use) file to use as a source. Have
to subtract that from the time saved by outsourcing the compression to
them.
Of course if you have access to really fast uploading that's another
matter but even on
one other issue is that for some of us compression is as interesting a
creative variable in web video as depth of field, aperture, etc.
Sometimes fully auto is good, othertimes you want manual control...

Have you seen:

Web-based online video encoding.
It will batch convert to any format, any length, and any resolution
including HD. And you can set up your own custom format conversion
profiles.
It'll distribute your files to wherever you want - CDN, FTP, HTTP and
Amazon
Curious, do need to output to wmv or you just want to have every modern
format available?

I haven't used it yet. Got quite excited about what it says it can do:

Hey all,

what your favorites are, and what your process is.
I really like SUPER by Erightsoft (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) but
I usually have trouble converting from QT to WMV. Directshow seems to throw
a wrench
