[MPlayer-users] distributed encoding

[christopher j bottaro]

hello,
what do yall think about this idea.  i got about 5 computers (all kinda old 
ones...free hand me downs from friends) at my house.  they are all on a 
network, running linux, yp, and nfs (/home is an nfs share).  would it be 
feasable for one computer to rip a .vob to the nfs share then have all 5 
computers encode 1/5 of it, then combine all 5 parts into a single divx?  
would that work?  pros?  cons?
