No, raw computing power is a thing of beauty and anyone who disagrees is a dirty stinking palastine!

dvd::rip

dvd::rip - A full featured DVD Ripper GUI for Linux, written in Perl

Takes a little effort to setup the cluster part as all machines need access to the same folder, needs same versions of packages and you need to setup passwordless ssh authenthication... And if you want x264 you need to install some extra package also :/

But once thats done it works nicely. So far only encoded one movie, but IT WORKS!! :D

If you are just talking about turning a avi to a DVD the ConvertXtoDVD makes what you just said sound very difficult ;)

Also just running Linux makes you a nerd :)

Well the trick is that the program divides the encoding jobs on all the connected machines so you can do it fast! :)

Is Olgaline a retard?

In order for that to be successful you would need to have a large cluster, like mine.

um that sounds like hemmoroids (sp?) and might only work if there is a group of horney proctology nurses tbh, maybe try different phrasing lol!
