I have been looking for a way to encode multiple videos simultaneously from NodeJS but I haven't find a good solution for it yet.

Using FFMPEG I never get a 100% fail free response. There is always a broken video.

OS: Ubuntu 12.04

size = "#{options.maxWidth}x#{options.maxHeight}"
proc = new ffmpeg({
        source: options.input
      }).withVideoCodec(options.encoder).withSize(size).keepPixelAspect(true).withStrictExperimental()
proc.onProgress (progress) ->
  console.log "progress: " + progress.percent

proc.saveToFile options.output, (stdout, stderr) ->
  console.log "file has been converted succesfully"

    FFmpeg is by far the most reliable way to encode video. If you're getting broken videos, something is wrong. I don't know what module you're using to interface with FFmpeg, but I suggest trying a different one. I also suggest telling us exactly what the errors are that you're getting, and show the full FFmpeg command (assuming this module isn't binding directly to the libraries). – Brad Mar 24 '14 at 23:08

Have you considered handbrake-js?

An example encode: 

const hbjs = require('handbrake-js')

hbjs.spawn({ input: 'video.avi', output: 'video.m4v' })
  .on('progress', progress => {
    const { percentComplete, eta } = progress
    console.log(`Percent complete: ${percentComplete}, ETA: ${eta}`
  })
