I really can't say enough about how great the transcode-video library is in terms of "set it and forget it".
When I cut the cord I started down the path of figuring out how to do all the optimizations myself, but quickly realized just how deep and technical that was. I stumbled upon Don Melton's library and have used it as a key piece of my batch processing pipeline ever since.
Definitely check it out if you are looking to convert arbitrary video files to be played back later on arbitrary devices:
