In one embodiment, a method determines a job to dispatch for transcoding a source file. The source file is stored on a node in a distributed file system in which a plurality of nodes are storing a plurality of source files. The method then determines location information for the source file in the distributed file system where the location information identifies the node in which the source file is stored. Also, a node in the plurality of nodes is determined in which to dispatch the job based on the location information for the source file. Then, the job is dispatched to the determined node such that transcoding of the source file is performed on the determined node. The determined node that performs the transcoding of the source file is also storing at least a portion of the plurality of source files.
