I am looking for someone to solve the following challenge.   I am also
willing to pay a finders fee to anyone who can find the right person
to do this project.

We would like to contract someone to develop a process for the
following video encoding challenge.  We are willing to purchase any
hardware/software encoding equipment required to complete the project.

We want the contractor to develop for us a documented process that we
can replicate so we can process a large volume of DVDs.

We are receiving video content from a client to process for web release.  

Our client is providing us with DVDs which contain 6 video interviews per disk.

We need to do the following procedure on each of the discs:

Take the disc and split it into 6 individual video interviews

From each video interview create the following files.

Several Broadband WMVs ? Full interview cut up into 2 minute length clips
1 Broadband WMV ? Full interview as 1 clip
Several Dialup WMVs ? Full interview cut up into 2 minute length clips
Several Broadband Mpegs ? Full interview cut up into 2 minute length clips

An additional thing that would be helpful would be to also create for
each video interview approximately 150 Jpegs of the highest resolution
possible.

Also if you have any suggestions where I could post this to find someone.

Thanks

I've also talked with Darren at PC Help LA, who says he'd be able to
develop a process for you:

This would most likely be considerably less expensive.

There is a france-based company that seems to specialize in video
encoding work as well:

"Television and film producers often have substantial video archives
they are unable to exploit fully, or even browse for their own
purposes, due to the lack of appropriate tools. They need robust and
long-term solutions which allow them to access and manage this dormant
content and use it to create new sources of revenue.

Each producer may have a different aim : one may want to quickly scan
through all the tapes in the archive; another may want to update an
existing text database to include images, or to streamline
post-production by going fully digital, to create new programs from
existing footage, even to sell video clips over the internet. But all
producers need the same thing: a video digitisation and analysis tool
which is flexible and configurable.

Kinomai offers personalised products and services which allow
producers to make the most of their video content."
