Many thanks for your kind words - I just wanted to give people a heads up :-) Regarding transcoding, this is now happily progressing (about 40% done now - should be about 72 hours in total at a guess), so that's fine. (I'm using multiple machines & cores in parallel) Regarding using EC2 - the real issue there would be getting the data there and back really as you note. It's all progressing really, just 2 weeks delayed by hardware silliness and work silliness, which is really the key thing! Regarding next time, I'm already also beginning to think and look at better ways of doing this. (Which will probably be something along the lines of direct recording to disk via HD webcams etc. But that's a different conversation!)
