an E8500 running at ~3.8GHz or a Q6600 running at 2.8GHz...? all other things factors being equal...

more cores are always better at video encoding then less cores at a higher clock.. the E8500 will kill the Q6600 on the first run during encoding but the Q6600 will beat the e8500 on the second run..
Why only 2.8Ghz on the Q6600? 3.6Ghz is fairly easy to hit it you have a half decent cooler and a half decent processor.
3.8Ghz isn't all that hard to achieve either.
What exactly are you basing this on? 3.6-3.8GHz is hardly easy, not by a long shot. I've built several Q6600 machines. 2 hit 3.6GHz but one needed way too much voltage to do so. None hit 3.8GHz. Most topped out between 3.2-3.4GHz and I had one that bearly made it over the 3GHz mark.
That said, 2.8GHz does seem like a low mark to aim for.
