A stream is term that represents the combination of video and audio. – H.264 & AAC/MP3 COMPRESSION Encoding is a resource intensive process; the higher quality you are encoding the more resources (CPU/RAM) are required Get a computer that will scale on what you will be doing not necessarily what you are doing now
