It sounds like you need a separate appliance for this software? You then hook it up to the webserver. Obviously if you have a buff enough webserver, a separate appliance wouldnt be needed. I still dont understand the model ripcode is built for. You have a video in format X and you want to serve it or stream it out to your users as format W,Y,and Z, so it doesnt transcode the Format X to W, Y, or Z until the User requests streaming or serving of a file in a particular format.
