Hi.
I wonder why you want to use PC ?
For the cost ? Then you should look at the 4 linux box maybe. In the same time linux box will probably not give you prorez if you will go out for mac. Converting on the fly does not seem good option as it will not give you cheap solution. The other way would be to use consumer dvd writer that write the feed directly but there you have time limitation and no start and stop.
Maybe you could have 4 intensity cards on one mac but it will not have sdi.
I personally would look time as the cheapest gear you have there. Client will get dvd a bit later.
Yes you could get that in instant but it will not be cheap.
It is like with cars … you want cheap you buy Suzuki Liana like in Top Gear. You like fast you get Enzo.
