I've recently got back into doing some encoding and RipBot264 is always my first choice. I am presently setup to use my three machines on my wired LAN to utilize distributed encoding. I do a lot of 4K HDR to 1080P SDR conversions so I need all the speed I can get. That said I am perplexed by the amount of time lost demuxing, indexing, copying to shared folder, and indexing again to use distributed encoding. It seems to me that there could be a real improvement in efficiency by consolidating some of this work in the first pass. 4K HDR files sourced from 4K BD are rather big and on a gigabit network connection still takes a rather significant amount of time to move that volume of data. In this case we are touching the data twice. Would it be possible to streamline this so that if we enable distributed encoding that RipBot264 handles the entire demux/copy to shared folder step in one pass?
