Yes, we encode it on the fly: Abit I-N73HD motherboard with overclocked Intel Pentium E2160 processor. Working like a charm, about 50-60% loading of the each of processors. Here is my encoding line: (Middle quality) cat $OUT.avi & /usr/bin/mencoder "$IN" -vf scale=512:384 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=300:threads=auto -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=aac:abitrate=20 -o $OUT.avi &>$OUT.log
High quality: cat $OUT.avi & /usr/bin/mencoder "$IN" -vf scale=512:384 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=256:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=aac:abitrate=20 -o $OUT.avi &>$OUT.log

We (me and my friend from the States) have the following problem. My friend wants to watch tv programs from Europe, which I stream to him. Because my upload is not too big (about 0.5 megabits) we used externremux script together with stream-device plugin for vdr to encode stream with h264 codec and after that stream it into internet.
do you encode mpeg2 satellite channels to h.264 on the fly ? It seems to me it's very hard job for CPU or do you stream in Internet h.264 dvb-s2 channels ?
