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.
