[mythtv-users] Distributing jobs

[Dura Zell]

Hi

I'm running a combined frontend/backend on a relative old AMD XP2800 
(32bit, 2167MHz) with PVR350 Capture Cards. For now this is the only 
backend in my network, so its the masterbackend. Unfortunately 
transcoding on this machine is somewhat painful: It takes forever.

Ok, I've got another machine running some kind of homeserver (samba, 
caching proxy, etc) wich is running 24/7 and faster (AMD 64x2, 2200MHz, 
64bit). Is there a way to let this machine do the transcoding jobs while 
the master backend is powered down (for power saving reasons and because 
the masterbackend standing in the living room is a bit noisy) or has the 
master backend to be running until all jobs are completed?

with kind regards

Micha
