Cheapest Source of x86 Cores?

Where are your videos? Encoding is a more complicated problem in that the source and destination would impact things. Bandwidth transfer can cost more than the compute on some clouds (and impact speeds).

If it's on S3 it might still be best to use AWS EC2 in the same region.

Oracle is definitely a good choice with 10TB free tier.

Hetzner cloud likely has cheaper compute than Oracle.

Upcloud has the fastest CPU.

Depending upon the type of encoding being used too, GPU instances might be worth having a look at as well. :)

I have videos on Google drive. For hetzner can you tell which one to buy? They have many offerings- dedicated, cloud etc.

Dedicated, get some AMD Zen and use benchmarks for your encoder to compare performance across instance types.
