I have 1 sugestion to a very usefull site add a field for whether it 
encodes and/or decodes only at the same time.  I am building several 
systems right now with 500-700 Intel / AMD based systems that are going 
to be used for 1 or the other but not both.  taken advange of the client 
server pices of  .8.  Some people might find that useful.
