Thanks - I'd forgotten all about beowulf. I even know a couple of
people capable of setting it up for me :-)
Having thought about this overnight, the multiple-VOB nature of most
DVDs means that some semi-automated (shell-script-level) distributing
over a cluster, one PC per VOB might parallelise things a bit.

invest in a dual athlon mobo, from overclockers. But after reading
some of the divx forums and speaking to one or two hard core rippers
decided that the investment, currently, isnt worth it. Although maybe
divx encoding on something like a beowulf configuration maybe able to
handle distributive processing.
