Thanks to all those who replied on this, I am now trying to set it up using faucet/hose with an Athlon XP 2000+ doing most of the work and a Duron 800 doing the mpeg2enc. I am building the mpeg2enc on a Sony Vaio laptop, also a Duron, and moving it to the target machine (PC266 M810 series Mobo (SiS based). When it runs mpeg2enc it locks up totally - have to "button it" - after about 100 frames. I don't have gcc installed on this machine for security reasons so is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to do this, i.e. copy mpeg2enc from another machine?
Its the mpeg2enc from CVS compiled with jpeg-mmx and libmovtar but no quicktime. -- Scott On Sun, 2003-06-01 at 06:47, Bernhard Praschinger wrote: > Hallo > > > Question is, has anyone tried to "rsh" some jobs out to other > > computers (e.g. on a 100Mb ethernet) to try to shorten the time, > > or would that just mean the network becomes the bottleneck? > > > > I use netpipes instead of rsh, but either way the network shouldn't be > > much of a bottleneck given that you're still only talking 4-6 fps at > > best.
