Video processing (samples)

[raymor]

Available bandwidth for uploading an downloading probably makes this
not feasible, but we have a spare quad CPU server with GBs of memory
if you could use it for encoding or whatever. We have it sitting there as
a spare waiting in case we need it, so all of that processing power is
currently being wasted.

This server can be used as simple transcoder if you want to change codec, resize or something like it with video. This task for small command line programs.
Editing video at the server side using remote desktop is not good idea. Too much delays destroys possibility of success.
Usually, I download source videos from ftp and upload ready product to it by myself. It's not most difficult thing in this process.
