Video transcoding suggestions

Hi,

I know most people are using ffmpeg to transcode videos and this is likely the path I will use too. I was just wondering if anyone could point me to resources where I can read up on best practices on building a transcoding engine. I will be working from multiple file formats (avi, mpeg, wmv, mov, etc. etc.) and would like to convert all these files to mp4 (for regular streaming) and iOS compatible (HLS?) streamable files.

If anyone has any suggestions or opinions on video transcoding they would like to share, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
