.Currently I have a rather large media library, with something abourd 3000 movies and TV shows that need to be converted into MP4V for my AppleTV.
Right now things are setup with a 24" iMac as the primary server, and a secondary 21" iMac which is used for NFS. Both of these machines do the conversion tasks. Even then it takes some time. So what I am working on right now is creating a VM to run handbrake and use for conversion as well.
Reason?
When I am gamng, I don't want to be bothered to stopped. So if I have a VM going that can be remote adminstrated without having to disturb the rest of my machine, that is perfect. Right now I am getting things going with a VM of Ubuntu 12.04 in VirtualBox. From there I got to either setup Samba or get NFS to work and handbrake going along with some form of remote management software (teamviewer).
So much fun....
