I think the best way is to check out the various online freelancing sites wherein you can invite bids for a range of budget and get opinions too. Some of the freelancing sites are as follows:

www.getafreelancers.com
GetACoder
PHP-Freelancers.com
Guru.com
www.scriptlance.com
www.rentacoder.com
www.remotehireman.com
www.serviceseeking.com.au
www.elance.com

Wishing you good luck.

Hi,

Yes, there are couple of softwares to do this task and yes the best ones are not very simple to use. But yes, we can use the software and simplify it for the end user.

Can you provide some more details on what kind of software you want built? Like a web application or a stand alone application?

Dear Doug,

Of course we want the job. If budget is a concern you can try our Manila Programmers who are as good as our US programmers when it comes to customizing your software yet you can take advantage of our offshore prices. Fred, one of our Senior artist said that what you wanted is doable.
Let me know if you are interested...please

have a look at bitsontherun.com

is that the kind of functionality you're after?

Either you can find it's utility software on the net but if you don't wish to do it by yourself, then you can hire some freelancers at affordable price using freelancing sites

i think Income_legend is right

if you want to use the same tech as used by sites like YouTube, then look at FFMPEG.

You will need a programmer to build an interface for you.

You could look at Drupal + Media Mover as you may find most of the programming has been done already, and it can be adapted for your needs:
