user14381: I understand that Netflix does all their encoding in AWS using EC2.  They have a custom encoding software called MAPLE that chunks all source video into 2-3 second chunks and encodes in multiple codec and formats across many EC2 instances in parallel.
Netflix is known to open source their software, however I am not finding that MAPLE has.  Does anyone know if an alternative / similar encoding/packaging scheme is available in open source?
Thanks for your attention. 

user12153: MediaEncodingCluster is an Enterprise Class, Video Cluster Environment with a Plattform Independent Client - Server Architecture for distributed video/audio converting/encoding tool over a grid Computing Network Design. more on http://docs.codergrid.de
Note: I haven't personally tried this yet. I'll update with some benchmarks when I do.
