dvdrip (www.exit1.org/dvdrip) has a clustering mode that I never bothered with before, as I didn't have enough speedy machines on the lan to bother. But i decided to fire it up today between my laptop, desktop and mythtv machine.
Very easy to set up and now its humming!!! All three boxes are transcoding bits of the file, and it'll all be stitched together again on the laptop when they have finished. All I need to do is persuade Miles off World of Warcraft for a while and i could boot his machine into linux and add it in too! How is it that the youngest member of the family has the best darned computer anyway?
