Not sure I agree, I think its worse than that: 1920pixels * 1080lines * 30 frames/sec * 20bits/sample in YUV => 1.244Gbps Also, if you want to encode live material you have bigger problems. encoders have pipeline delay but this must be limited, usually to a few hundred millisecods. This means you can only decompose the stream into a few frames which you can run on seperate cpus. Spatial decomposition of the frames helps too but this is much more difficult to do well - i.e. to ensure you cannot see the joins. -Steve
