H264 distributed encoding question here.  I tend to use handbrake high quality settings and am very pleased with the results but was wondering if there is anyway to split precessing one video to multiple computers.  I have an i7 sandy, a 6 core AMD, and an older Phenom II, as well as a Haswell rocking freenas with the rest linux.  Would be nice to get above 20 fps with same quality and size.  3-5 hours is a long encode.  Have tried media encoding cluster and gearman with handbrake with disappointing results.  I am not above building a beowolf cluster. lol

Are you looking for a project that uses your various hardware, or are you more interested in solving the problem for high volume transcoding? If the latter, take a look at AWS Elastic Transcoder.
