Is video that cpu/gpu bound that streaming it over the interwebs isn't the issue?

Maybe my use cases for ffmpeg are quite narrow, but I always get a speedup from moving the files off my external hard-drive, suggesting that is my current bottleneck.

The hope is that you stream over LAN not the interwebs!

Based on your description, it does seem like your ffmpeg may be IO limited
