i was just able to finally figure out how to set-up my network rendering for Vegas 6 and AE w/Grid iron and it been pretty cool not to wait for things to process not that it took that long to render stuff to begin with.
i know Newtek has render nodes[???] for lightwave to distribute processing to several computers.
would it be possible to do the same thing with Toaster? not only for rendering long projects for import to a DVD authoring or transfering, but also to allow underpowered toaster PCs to background process clips on the timeline over a network. what person doesn't have an extra computer [especially w/ a slower processor] lying around? we might as well put it to use instead of trashing it. i think every little bit of speed helps.
i think network processing would also help with live switching especially shows that are heavily dependent on using toaster ddr.
