Thanks for the summary.

Quick question on video encoding & transcoding - what is the best bang for the buck hardware for encoding or transcoding large numbers of of video streams? In the past when researching it, I got the impression that the dedicated hardware on Nvidia GPUs was only a small part of the die area so getting GPUs just for transcoding seemed like overkill. Similarly with CPUs there is Intel's QuickSync, but again that dedicated hardware is only a small part of the total processor die area.
