This online video encoding service lets you encode videos for almost any formats to almost any format and they offer a REST-based interface that lets you do direct application integration. Videos can be uploaded directly from your local machine or accessed via sites like YouTube, Blip, Metacafe, RSS, and many other sources (see below). The commercial service fees are based on "encoding credits" at $.10 each. Mobile and gaming device support includes encoding videos for Nokia, PS3, Wii, Zune and other platforms. High Definition is also supported and there are no limits to video size and length.
One great feature about this tool that I think is a key differentiator for this product is the fact that you can submit RSS feeds and the new enclosures will be automatically uploaded. Finally, they have also added a RSS feed function for all of a user's converted files so that they can be gathered directly from any RSS reader.
If anyone out there has used HeyWatch and has feedback, please comment below. Thanks.
