Well, sounds like you're new to the platform, right?
Your objectives are to encode a video and deliver it someplace. 
Here's where to start:
Beginner:
Most folks log into the UI @ http://www.encoding.com and select 'Start a new job' from the list of choices on the left in order to test drive the system. Run through this a couple times, as adding media one a time is a great way to get started with the platform. Try adding a few tasks to your source media for multiple outputs. Make sure to take a peek at the Encoding Queue, as you'll have to manually select files you add via 'Start a new job' to process manually. Want to skip this step? Set up a watch folder and automagically content will be pulled from your source location and processed.
Intermediate:
Setting up a watch folder on Amazon S3, Rackspace or your local FTP site is easy. Log into the UI, select 'Watch Folder' from the list on the left and select 'Add New.' Configure the URLs to hit your source location, deliver to your preferred destination, add a notify, then add a few tasks to the folder. If you have any questions on configuring FTP, S3 or Rackspace URLs, then make sure to check out the following article: http://www.encoding.com/how_can_i_specify_where_my_source_media_is_located
