(eg, i could use a fast machine for some piuparts work...). so, servers as many as reasonable fit in your car? ;) unfortunatly we dont know yet how many talks we'll have at the same time to cover, but I assume its safe to plan for a dual-stream setup. and of course, extra encoding machines could be used to create more streams, eg for playing with dirac. was that a helpful reply? regards, Holger
