Clustering DiVX encoding? isit possible?

DuNno? · 6th January 2002, 3:25 AM

ive got a tbird 1gig system in my sisters room on 100mbit, is there any way that i could use this with my systen (1.2gig tbird) to encode DiVXs ?

Yeah the same way I do. VNC.

(Not quite what you were looking for but it works)

Lesse here: One machine to decode one to encode?
DVD 720*480 (NTSC)*16bpp YUV -> 32bit RGB @ 23.976 fps (min) = 265,155,379.2 bps which is a tad more than 100,000,000 bps (minus framing and packet overehead)

I suppose it could be done ..i take it you are referring to some distributed computing thing.

But its just two pcs ..if you want to do something like that i would just cut the movie in half, get one machine to do it..then the other..then stitch them back together.

Say I had a bunch of oldish comps?

Could they be clustered to fold?

Are there any standard encoders that will make use of an smp system? I have two dual cpu systems but encoding is always done only on one cpu?

if there is such a beast for linux then a mosix system would be able to spread the encoding over as many cpus as available. ie in my case 4.

Check www.doom9.net for all divx info

I use Fairuse personally, it is multithreaded and works well on my BP6 - perfect rips everytime

hmm with my little cluster i could do them in 40 mins >: )

Xmpeg, uses both processors in my system, i think it runs 6 threads, so should take some advantage of a quad system (you could always cut in half, and do both 1/2's simultaniously

I hate XMpeg. I use AVISynth for decoding MPEG2, resizing, and applying any filters. Virtualdub and Divx4 or Nandub SBC do the rest. Depending on the filters in use, I get 100% utilization of bith procs, and about 55-60 fps.
