It seems that would save bandwidth without risking any licensing issues.
In my experience the bandwidth is typically the lowest part of the cost equation. Why transcode on 1k nodes when you can do it once and distribute it at lower cost, including in electricity to run the host CPU. Centralized transcoding on dedicated hardware makes sense. - Jared
