Cleaner is a video encoding program from www.discreet.com that can run batches...IE: You can tell it to process one video or 100 videos if you want. Just set the properties for what you want done including watermarks and so forth then basically press start and walk away.

Here is what I use it for:

I take a series of videos then tell cleaner to encode multiple formats (wmv, mov, mpeg, and RM) along with multiple bandwidth options (56k, 512k) and then I drop my sites logo in the corner as an 80% transparent watermark.

Then I run the batch and walk away. With my current video editing machine, 2.5 hours of raw videos takes approx. 10 hours to encode and spit out the various finished products in all sizes and formats.
