Frank,
There are several transcoding related projects including the
work we have been doing (check out the papers from
http://www.cs.umbc.edu/dna/, and some older work from
http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~joshi/dbrowse/). Other groups that have
worked on this include Eric Brewer et al at Berkeley (they made
a startup out of this work that I think Puma bought), Murray Mazer
etc. at OSF/Curl.com, Satyanarayanan at CMU etc. Many companies too
have written their own transcoding proxies tied to their specific
services. While most of the academic work has been published and code
ocassionaly shared, I don't know of anything that is open source.
