+The primary focus of MPEG encoding algorithms is 1) To create fast
+and efficient motion vector search techniques and 2) To find "good"
+encoding parameters that provide a balance of encoding speed,
+compression and quality.
+
+The Berkeley encoder accelerates the process by parallelizing in
+the temporal direction. The overall organization of the encoder is
+shown in Figure 2. The Master server is the overall coordinator.
+It allocates groups of frames to the Slave servers for encoding.
+The sharing of the files is achieved best, if the directories
+containing the video files are NFS mounted and accessible uniformly
+to all processors (alternatively they can be sent out though sockets
+by the Master). The various activities are managed by inter process
+communication through sockets.
