I am working on a project that would require the use of video / media transcoding , however I am on a budget and AWS transcoder seems a bit expensive for me at the moment, so I would like to know if there's a more affordable alternative to AWS elastic transcoder?

AWS Elastic Transcoder is definitely one of the most affordable video transcoding solutions out there.

One of the key selling points is that you only pay for actual usage, e.g. no minimum fees etc.

If you face a huge amount of video material to transcode and are not afraid of setting up your own media encoder, you can go with a rails app using paperclip and ffmpeg / libAV and a reasonable job queue, e.g. Delayed Job or Resque. This could be hosted e.g. on Heroku.
