We just uploaded the first video from last nights BarCamp Vancouver BBQ:
I wrote a utility that reads processing requests from an Amazon SQS queue and then transcodes the video and uploads it to an Amazon S3 bucket. It’s still not completely automated, but it’s getting there. This is part of what started with this post on Bryan Zug’s blog.
Feel free to repost this, use the this code to embed the video:

Nice work Ianiv.
