with ffmpeg when it becomes economically justifiable(ie you are willing to put the hours in to troubleshooting again and again when problems crop up).

Wish I knew what a problem it was before I fell into the trap of deliverying
a working application.

I knew what a problem it was and so set the rate quite high - so they had someone else do it and when they ran into problems than had to deal with hourly charges for troubleshooting.

The sad thing was they were uploading maybe a dozen videos over the course of a week - ie it would take next to nothing to convert the videos manually and ensure they work perfectly. But they got stuck in the mindset that they paid hundreds of dollars for automatic conversion, so they wanted automatic conversion if it costs thousands more in troubleshooting problems. :-(
