Several people have been wondering what's going to be happening to ODTV with the introduction of bitgravity. Currently the hope is to completely automate the system using Amazon's EC2. This shouldn't be difficult to implement. We already have a working implementation running on a virtual machine (Ubuntu 8.04) and pretty much all it uses is ffmpeg 0.5.
What we're going to do is set up ODTV to automate the conversion to an mp4. This will be done with cooperation from TWiT LLC who plan on making good quality flv's available to us to work with. This process will be considerably faster than the current method and will create a higher quality end product. I also plan on creating a wiki entry on The Official TWiT Wiki describing how this entire process is done which will hopefully allow people to do this from their own homes with ease.
