Batch is setup using a cron job so that you can schedule a time for videos to be processed or a schedule of every x amount of minutes for the videos to be processed.Quote:

Background processing starts processing immediately but it doesn't have the user waiting for the encoding of the video to complete. Instead it tells the user that the video will be finished soon and the user can continue to surf the site while the uploaded video is being processed. This works good for larger videos that could take awhile to encode.
Background processing, IMHO, is the better choice.
