I guess I could have been more clear on this. The goal is to have a base format (Blu-Ray quality) used for storage only. Then to transcode per device on the fly, but the plan is to only do it once per device. So the first time a movie starts there may be some delay as the transcoding occurs, but the resulting file would be cached so it only needs to be done once. This prevents having to transcode each movie file to each and every resolution. Thanks for all the advice folks, it does help a lot. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
