Actually, I was wondering about this.
If you have 2 instances of DCP-o-matic running on same machine
and other machines on the network running as encoding servers, is
there any risk that frames from the 2 DOM instances get mixed up
together? (i.e. encoding servers send frames back to the wrong DOM
instance, creating two Frankenstein monster DCPs)
James, in answer to your original question: Even if you can do
this, I'm not sure why you'd want to. Given that encoding will
take up 100% of the CPU, there's no advantage in doing 2 encodes
simultaneously. They'll both take twice as long, and I would
imagine probably a bit longer as there's the added overhead for
the machine of switching between the two processes. As Igor said,
you're probably better off using the batch encoder which allows
you to queue up as many as you want and it'll run each encode one
after another. Hope that helps.

As far as I know, simultaneously you can't do more than 1 (one) DCP. But you can make several DCPs one-by-one with DCP Batch Converter

Hi,
Is it possible to create two DCPs at a time?
