Transcoding isn't nearly as efficient as simply playing. Sure, you can transcode ahead of time, but have you ever tried transcoding 3 days worth of linear video on a 1Ghz proc machine?
Add to that the rapid release of Anime Fan Subs: when an Anime is licensed for play here in the states, that Anime should no longer be played. This gives a narrow window of opportunity to play "legal" fan subs here in the states.
Transcoding a couple of weeks before would be possible. It's just easier to open up a samba share and have the Anime Fan Sub organizer fill the machine up with recent video days before the actual event.
The larger problem is making sure that everything plays.
