Holy, why do you need that computing power for streaming shows/movies?

Transcoding... x265 CPU encodes on even a 2hr video can take several hours on a very fast intel CPU. I've been playing around with nvenc vbr 2-pass which has been giving me good results, not too much larger than the cpu encode in minutes.

But if you want something hosted/online, then it gets harder.

No way to offload it to the GPU? I remember reading about ffmpeg extensions for doing that...

I mentioned using nvenc (nvidia encoder), but didn't mention that is was using gpu... cpu encoding is much slower.

Depends on how many concurrent streams he's doing and if he's running anything else.
