A Distributed DivX Ripper? · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Cliff on Friday May 10, 2002 @06:22PM from the backing-up-your-DVDs dept.

RJ asks: "I know much about Java/C++ and sockets programming and I'd like to use this knowledge to build a distributed program to rip a DVD into DivX. It will work by breaking the job into chunks, sending chunks to other computers to encode, then patching it back together. Despite my searching efforts, I have been unable to find a decent resource to teach me how to program the DivX core to encode mpeg2 and re-join parts. I'm hoping that some readers of slashdot can point me in the right direction?"
