Xing's software-only MPEG1 encoder requires a dual-processor Pentium II server, but Xing believes it "might" run on a 300MHz Pentium II. Or you can buy a hardware MPEG1 encoder system that incorporates CUBE chips for $299-399......................

Xing writes MPEG encoder in software

San Louis Obispo, Calif. - Xing Technology Corp. has developed what it
calls a real-time, software-only MPEG-1 encoder. Though both
hardware-assisted real-time encoders and software-only MPEG-1 playback
programs exist, Xing appears to have the first high-quality MPEG-1 encoder
that's been accomplished on a PC.

The software is based on Xing's existing two-pass encoder. Substantial
reprogramming was done to exploit the MMX instructions in the Intel
Pentium-II CPU to produced a single-pass, real-time version of the program.

The encoder currently runs on a dual-processor Pentium-II server, with one
processor supporting MPEG-1 encoding, and the other handling video
capture, data streaming and network overhead. Xing believes the encoding
task can be done by a single 300-MHz Pentium-II.
