recent talk on VP10 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzKP7JJjXtY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzKP7JJjXtY) encoding videos is much more cpu intensive. offloading to client machines is not an option. its always better to get the source material and spend more cpu time on the server (with the option to do better later). There might be still some corner cases where you would want to encode raw or mostly uncompressed source material before upload.
