    How to rip and encode 2000 DVDs fast?

    I feel that our current setup is not doing the job for us anymore.

    Task: 2000 DVDs
    Time: 1 month
    Formats: 2 x Flash, 1 x WMV

    Any ideas? We use sorenson right now.

          Hey Brad. We had contact before. Decided to do the encoding locally as long as we can keep up with the DVDs comming in. I will get back to you guys if we run out of resources here.

          Any tipps on what to use? You use Macs, right?

            We use a cluster of 20 macs tied together using apple compressor which allows for FLV and WMV codecs.

            I am also available for consulting if you wish to build your own cluster. I already made all the mistakes and have a very automated workflow.

              I was getting an offer for Episode Engine with Flash 8, but their pricing is pretty heavy.

                Episode engine is great but it's WAAAY overpriced for a cluster at over $1k per seat.

                Compressor has a controller and all of it's nodes are covered under the controller license. I buy the codec directly from Adobe for FLV.

                  very funny that most ignorants focus on the program and not in the hardware..

                  if you want to rip and encode fast 2000 dvds, you need to focus on a very powerful machine.. not one, but several powerful configurations...

                  the software is secondary..
