Already? Is the bitstream finalized yet? Either way, I don't have much faith in it's quality. But I will do my usual encode (Serenity, 3rd chapter, PAL DVD) once a final vp9 encoder is available.

We'll just have to wait and see.

How will it encode my 576i 50hz MPEG2?

a 2Ghz singole core is enough for decent encoding times, like 3-4 hours for 120 minutes recording?
For the moment I do not re-encode, I prefer to keep the original recording, like 1.5Gb - 5Gb per film.

It turns out that the bitstream isn't even frozen yet. I like this, as it allows them to at least catch up with HEVC.
