Some one asked for bulk encodes??

[canadiangeek_guy]

Couldn't help but answer the call for input on bulk encoding that Robert Heron gave out in episode 325 of Tekzilla.

For an explanation of the configurations I have here is the breakdown:


work-farm (servers)
AMD 635 (AM2) quad core @ 2.9ghz
8 gb of ram
160 gb seagate hdd (os disk)
6x2tb western digital hdd (storageraid-5)

AMD 625 (AM2) quad core @ 2.8 ghz
8 gb ram
250 gb western digital ide hdd (os disk)
6x1tb western digital hdd (storage raid-5)

AMD 625 (AM2) quad core @ 2.8 ghz
8 gb ram
250 gb western digital ide hdd (os disk)
6x500gb western digital hdd (storage raid-5)

AMD 625 (AM2) quad core @ 2.8 ghz
8 gb ram
250 gb western digital ide hdd (os disk)
6x320gb seaget hdd (storage raid-5)



Workstation
AMD 1100t (AM2+) hexa core @3.3ghz
16 gb ram
4x150gb western digital raptors (raid-0)
4x250gb western digital hdd (jbod)


Having said the above here's how I do things.

All of my systems are running a variant of windows. It's pretty easy to enable remote desktop connections on the systems I want to connect to (ie the servers). All windows OS's have a program built in called Remote Desktop Connection. As soon as that program is brought up insert the IP address or machine name to connect to it. You may need to supply credentials for that particulate system. Once connected all a person really needs to do is handbreak your goodies.

I servers once ran ubuntu 10.10 and it was possible to ssh into the servers and que the items via a command line. I have forgotten how to do that so if some one more knowledgeable than me when it comes to linux fill in the blanks there, help everyone out please.


Thanks for the show and keep up the good work.

(sorry for the messy cabling in the photos, I don't think there's a clean way to do it.)
