You may want to go for linux-based audio/video player/encoder codecs. Just like the well known Windows Codec Packs like K-lite/Ace etc..

You have to write an automation frontend (or call it whatever you like), that is transcode the input file to the selected output file. Just like a virtualdub (windows) script does it.

mplayer have some codecs that run on all platforms, im not sure those are able to encode, but play the media as well.

edit: It seems like MEncoder does the job, read the manuals how you can use them, then you can start write some perl scripts that does the job on a linux server.

look around on sourceforge.net also, for more informations about crossplatform audio/video encoder/decoder codecs..
