    2222because no one wants to wait 20 minutes for a video to finish encoding 
    2323when they need to update the startpage.  Running the video encoding in 
    24 a separate process(the script is designed to be run out of cron) also 
    25 allows the encoding process to get "nice'd" to an appropriate priority 
    26 so it doesn't bring down your server.  It also means that it is very 
    27 easy to graft support for embedded video onto any existing cms that 
    28 stores video in the file system.

     29This script uses Twisted networking framework, to run every 60 seconds 
     30or whatever you like, and scan a directory files for new videos to  
     31encode.
