It reminds me of my old days using vidomi to crunch video at work :) Given the recent price drop it could be a viable . On the fly transcoding would be nice given the lack of specific codec support on the PS3. I am still surprised the PS3 isn't Divx 7 certified yet :( Emrah, Software is$199 for a year subscription which includes support and all updates. Not a bad deal if you ask me... Gibb, Indeed. This is what I have been waiting for :) Marcel,

Is that something that is or will be supported too? I mean in the end, the PS3 can be seen as "cheap hardware" so getting a few of them to do your encoding for high end solutions definitely is a possibility. So basically the question is, can the software support "chopping up" a movie in small segments and distributing those over a whole farm of PS3's, using the ones that are currently available at any time so you can still just reboot one of them to actually start gaming. Also, what about using one PS3 as a permanent, on the fly media transcoder for a second PS3? I'd like that too. If they can tune the options a bit more so all formats can be transcoded faster than real-time that would really be a nice option too. No need to manually transcode anymore upfront!
