Why bother transcoding on the fly? Storage is cheaper than CPU and the work it takes to determine what needs encoding is excessive.

It implies that you guys are generating the playlists on the fly, tracking the client requests, then feeding that over to your transcoder - which then needs to get the original, seek, and transcode. Why bother?
