> encoding done in a consumer-grade camera / phone.

Just brainstorming here, but encoding local photos/videos might be an acceptable task for a cellphone to do when it is fully charged and plugged in.

That would severely limit the amount of photos and video you can capture between charging sessions. Most phones don't have a ton of storage, and raw video/photos are huge.

Plus storage might not be fast enough to store raw video in realtime. And you'd kill it much sooner with all the writing (larger raw files + reencoded files).
