building a cluster

[Carlos Silva]

Hi,

I want to build a cluster with 2-3 nodes to convert my video files to 
DVD pretty faster (it takes an ETA of 12 hours right now), but I'm not 
familiarized with this systems, so if anyone can give me a little help 
on creating this cluster it's very appreciated!
I have two questions too:
- Is there possible to execute a program manufactured to a single pc and 
this use all the processors?
- How hard can be this configuration of the cluster and monitoring systems?

Best Regards,
