Yeah really the actual space/room is the issue there, not sure where i'd put that. With PPSS, it looks like it distributes the encoding of different files over the available resources, it wouldn't spread a single encoding job over them correct? I do need a way to automate ffmpeg instances so more jobs can run at the same time. My jobs aren't just a bunch of files sitting in a directory, it is querying a db for files that need to be encoded in various ways.
