I've always wondered how YouTube manage the converting/encoding of all the videos to FLV.
The main reason I wonder is the fact that I've never had to wait in a queue to upload or have my video encoded.
I've been messing around with mencoder/FFMPEG to convert videos to FLV (which is apparently what YouTube use).
A single conversion is nothing, but I really don't see how YouTube convert thousands of videos a day with no queues? (Above a Pizza shop IIRC
).
Who wants to enlighten me?
(Couldn't make up my mind on what category this should go in, so it's here
)
