dvei is a client/server infrastructure for distributed computing, specialized for converting videos via ffmpeg. It consists of a server that delivers jobs to clients that will do the real work. Client and server are written in Ruby.
A few external programs are required for dvei: ffmpeg, wget, wput and shasum.

This project is in pre-alpha stage. It isn't very error tolerant and sometimes not well written
but I think this will change during the development ;-)

Please read the readme file when you want to let this program run
since creating a new video conversion job is a complex thing at this state of development.
