This pretty much breaks the 'instant' gratification you currently get on upload.
The segmenting is going to significant harm compression efficiency for any inter-frame coded output format unless you perform a two pass encode with the first past on the server to do keyframe location detection. Because the stream will restart at cut points.
- I tie transcoded chunks to user ids this makes it easier to disable
bad participants.
Tyler Durden will be sad.
But this means that only logged in users will participate, no?
