As it should be a sequential read/write, I'd say probably one of the RAID-0 options... but which is going to depend on where the bottleneck comes in (read/write/or compute). If it's a read bottleneck (doubtful), read from the RAID array... write, write to the RAID array... compute, might as well go single to single for all the difference it will make. H.264 conversion for example is very processor intensive... other conversions, less so. Depends on the software being used and end format.
