Files should gradually populate at the smaller sizes as they get referenced

Please give a shout if there's any problems.

Looks like this actually adds them to the queue all at once - 23,386
160p videos queued, 11,745 160p transcodes already done (!), which
means about 85% of all videos are either already transcoded to 160p,
or in the queue.
This might cause some delays in transcoding newly uploaded files, but
given that in a single day there's already been almost 20,000 new
transcodes, it looks like it won't take that long to be done with all
of them. I'm really quite surprised how fast the transcoding is
proceeding.
