Cheap hourly CPU?

Is there any service that offers a LOT of CPU power for cheapish price? I only need it for about a week to process a load of video for the commonwealth games. Vultr would be nice, but their CPU's are not very high power and I don't think they allow 24/7 usage...
12 cores on an E3 isn't enough!

Maybe Incero instant? http://incero.com/instant
Amazon EC2's compute-optimized C3 instances are for just that sort of thing (scroll down):

Amazon/Google/Microsoft all have compute nodes available by the hour. There are also specific services for video transcoding like Amazon Elastic Transcoder (http://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/).
And isn't possible either, unless your software is made to work on multi machine clusters
What about the Amazon computing instances?
8 cores sorry! I think EC2 will work just a little expensive, thanks all!
EC2 is not expensive at all. Use spot instances.
