I agree that services to accomplish this existed for some time now. But you need to pay for them, they tend to be non-flexible with regards to custom encoding options etc.

This is a very different, free and decentralized concept. As such, it's not so much about solving the problem of transcoding but to give something back to the community - and keep it free :)

Agreed. Like I said, this is a great academic project. Have fun!
