Using Mac Mini for Q Master

[chelseasian]

Hi

I am wondering if it is possible to use a Mac Mini to run compressor as part of the Q Master network. Does anyone have a clue? I am thinking of a Mini because of its size.

Thanks!

Yes, the Mac mini do fine for a cluster. I use one myself without any problem.

Great! Thanks for the tip. Do you think 1GB RAM is sufficient or should I up to 2?

According to this discussion thread ( not completely related ), memory use can be very high if you use "Virtual Clustering", which apprently is the only way to make H.264 compressing faster.
