Hi,
i was thinking about one possibility to lower the encoding time without having multi-proc PC but using more than one PC (like PVM does).
When we encode the steps are :
1 - demux audio/video
2 - encoding audio (1 or 2 audio files)
3 - encoding video
4 - mux
5 - burn
I have 2 PC (one 1,3 Duron and one 750 Duron) at home.
As we don't make multipass video encoding it's possible to encode one half part on one PC and the other to another one (using avisynth script) and then merge them before muxing. Considering the audio i often encode 2 langages so why not doing the same.
My dream is modifying ToK for example by adding one option giving the ability to put the name or @IP of two (3,4...) PC and ToK will use then to encode video and audio
I've seen that with Win2000 there's a command named
rexec to execute task on another PC.
What do you think about that ? It's just an idea, i don't really know how to do that but i'm sure it's not so difficult.
