Amazon Web Services Video Conversion

A couple of interesting posts from the Amazon Webservices team this week showing how their system can be used for video conversion. Mitch Garnaat describes how it is possible to build your own video conversion system using the Amazon storage, queue and compute services. It's already put a seed in my head, wondering how this could be extended to CGI rendering.

If that all sounds like too much work then mDialog have already provided this facility.
