yes, when encoding, keep in mind, "garbage in, garbage out". *always* encode from the the highest quality source available. if you're using cleaner, you can batch encode like crazy. yes, encoding takes a long time... you should have at least one dedicated machine if you are encoding large amounts of video. you can batch and go out/go to sleep.

sorenson rocks if you're encoding to quicktime. if you are doing mpeg1, be sure to get mpeg charger (a plugin for cleaner 5) - it does variable bit-rate mpeg1 encoding, giving you better quality and smaller files sizes than you'll get when just using cleaner 5.
