Hint: we asked KVS support if it is an OK idea to buy servers, put them in the basement of my office on a gigabit LAN so the actual video encoding would happen locally.
They said they have nothing against this.
And this solution seems to be the best cost-wise.
A second-hand server costs 200-300 USD / EUR, you need to buy graphics card for it [need to buy proper server for such cards].
We are just about to build this out, if anyone wants to join in in brainstorming, etc: get in touch with me!
