Netflix encoding system - MAPLE I understand that Netflix does all their encoding in AWS using EC2.  They have a custom encoding software called MAPLE that chunks all source video into 2-3 second chunks and encodes in multiple codec and formats across many EC2 instances in parallel.

Netflix is known to open source their software, however I am not finding that MAPLE has.  Does anyone know if an alternative / similar encoding/packaging scheme is available in open source?

Thanks for your attention.

Note: I haven't personally tried this yet. I'll update with some benchmarks when I do.
