There's a readily available model for exactly that type of thing in 
dvd::rip. I have yet to actually do anything with it myself (under 
dvd::rip), but I should, because I've got plenty of idle processing 
power laying about... I'm not sure if it uses mosix or not though 
(dvd::rip launches a cluster-management daemon on port 28646, but I'm 
not seeing what the actual engine is right now).
