RE: Rocks Cluster Parallel Encoding

Hi there.

One thing yo do have to watch is the audio/video sync. You cannot pass 
parameters to transcode when in cluster mode. So you cannot adjust the A/V 
sync at all. I found that most of my cluster rips suffered from really bad 
sync issues. I now use my 4 cluster machines to do 4 separate jobs 
simultaneously. One sort of parallelization I guess! I can then pass in the 
-M 3 (for PAL) and -M 4 (for NTSC) that seems to sort the sync issues.

Cheers
Neill.
