Sorry to drag up such an old mail, but . . .

Would it be so hard to modify mpeg2enc to allow multiple threads, processors 
or networked boxes to process small chunks of video and have a tool join 
them?

My use is for Computer Animation, where I'll be rendering individual frames 
with POV-Ray and then encoding them for DVD standard video.

Since George brought this up, I'm sure there are others looking for similar 
features. But from my perspective, I'll be going from individual frames 
->mpeg, but there is a yuv stage in the middle, so I'm not sure where the 
splitting should happen. Of course converting from other video formats also 
complicates things.

Just considering setting up a render farm and wondering if distributed mpeg 
encoding should be a goal for mjpeg-tools.

Cheers,

        John Gay
