We set up Handbrake within Mechbunny to do our encodes, as we only upload our own videos, but we're always looking for the most efficient way to do things. Loading so many at once via a drive elsewhere sounds like a nice way to do it.
Thanks for the info.

Hi DWB, they charge per minute of video:

In my opinion, this is much more cost effective than paying based on video size which is what encoding.com does.
So basically $300 buys me 10,000 minutes of encoded video. This allows me to encode approx. 330 SD videos at 30 minutes each per month. Or 165 SD videos at 30 minutes each in 2 formats (example mp4 and webm) per month.
HD videos count as double minutes.
