Well, except for ogg/vorbis, renderfarm generates a segment of rendered video per node. Then you need to merge or pull back into cin and re-render (hopefully at streamcopy speed) to a single file if that is your desired output. I guess I would lean toward one powerful box first, unless you have some special desire to do renderfarm setup. This search seems to have a couple items: http://e.kevb.net/lurker/search/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:cinelerra,hardware,recommend.en.html Both a capture card thread and an ideal machine thread. :) -- Kevin ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
