There is some performance penalty, because you'll have to do the 
decoding in each pipeline, instead of decoding once and then teeing the 
decoded video to each encoder branch. I don't know if there is also a 
synchronization problem; I think the segments of the different bit rates 
should match up exactly for ABS, and I don't know if that's harder to 
achieve when each one is its own pipeline.
