take a mysql-database, a nfs-storage and mount the storage on all nodes
the mysql-db is for tasklist, status (started, canceld, failed) and
contains the path.

yes you will need some logic for how to spread the load but it should not
be too different with cronjobs every minute or even a sysv service with
some scirpt in an endless loop to let fetch every instance some videos
to encode and marke in the table as "in progress"

whith this way and a little time there are nice things possible
since you can add additional infos in the database, make some
webinterfaces to control the ffmpeg-params and store them with the
record
