Any money in video encoding?

I've just ordered a quad core CPU finally to replace my E6400 and I've recently switched over to ubuntu and have been writing some tools for helping automate video encoding, thumbnail creation, clip creation and basically every step you could possibly think of from the time you take it off your camera to when you use it.

If you were to give me a raw video straight from your camera and I gave it back to you in several formats (MP4, divx, wmv, x264, flv) and complete with something like a 30 second clip which is say 3 10 second grabs from various parts of the video all in multiple resolutions and plenty of screencaps complete with thumbs and working on being able to offer more.

Is there anybody looking for somebody to do this kind of thing? Also wondering what kind of price would be fair. I can even automate sending it BACK to you either mail or FTP or .zip or .tar packages.

I know of a few content producers not too far from me that have been telling me what a PITA it is to encode all of the various formats they need/use.

Any thoughts on somebody thinking about offering this service soon?
