I know how much picayune work goes into quality video encoding since I do a lot of video encoding for my self and some clients. Recently, I was curious about what some of the existing outsourcing companies were charging for similar services. So I recently asked a company that serves the adult market what he was charging for similar services, and the price was so low that I was shocked. So even if you automate the process significantly I can't imagine there is a lot of money to be made unless you have have high volume and steady customers. Then again, if you don't mind the laborious aspect of it and you have the computers already, and are sitting nearby in your office anyway so that you can set batch processes up and attend to them from time to time to make sure there are no crashes or errors , I imagine that whatever you are charging is almost all profit.
