What is the best way to encode uploaded files in a video sharing community.

- How do you determine that an encode failed due to a crash of the flixengine
- Do you use a cronjob to check every minute if there is something that needs to be encoded? If not, how do you determine if there is something that needs to be encoded.
- If you use a cronjob, do you encode all files that are new or just one?
- What if the system hangs.. how do you determine if it needs to be rebooted!
- Do you have your website running on the same server as your encoder?

I really like to know some answers for these kind of problems!
