Thanks, as suspected transcoding on Linode is VERY slow at less than 2 FPS with a default Ubuntu installation. Also access to hardware encoding / decoding is likely to be poor or not exist at all. Your suggestion of having a more powerful instance that you only run transcodes on demand might be worth trying but beware of excessive bandwidth costs associated with uploading / downloading GB files.

-crf is not constant framerate. -crf is constant rate factor and sets the quality not the framerate.

I don’t recommend using ANY host for storing your media files.
