Another tool from 2010 is dvd::rip https://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ Specifically, the clustering information is at https://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/cluster.cipp However, something more modern (and maintained) would be clustercode https://ccremer.github.io/clustercode-docs/clustercode/index.html although I've not tried that. > > Thanks, > Christoph > OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Apart from python 2 vs 3 issues, there's no reason to think that a modified version of that script wouldn't work for you. Do you have more specific questions? -dsr-
Parallel processing unit cluster for single ffmpeg calls?
Hi folks, I was wondering if I can build a cluster to convert / transcode videos with ffmpeg. There are some workstations standing around here ... and I though maybe it's possible to combine their computing power? To be clear: The task is to work on a single video as fast as possible. I found this, but it's from 2010: http://www.samir.ca/2010/11/23/high-speed-ffmpeg-cluster-encoding-with-python-and-avidemux.html I have no experience in clustering and would be grateful for any useful hint. Thanks, Christoph
