Hi I currently use mencoder and ffmpeg for encoding. I have a amd dual core 6000+ (Brisbane core) processor and when I enable threads I only get about 60-70% combined cpu utilization (measured in htop) . This is with encoding mpeg2, mpeg4 & x264. I tried selecting both auto a specific number of thread(2->4) with no differences. I'm currently running 2.6.30 amd64 linux kernel and have rulled out disk-io bottlenecks. If I run 2 concurrent encodes I get 100% utilization. Anyone Have an idea as to what I can try or links to information that I could use to address this. I'm running svn of both ffmpeg and mplayer btw. I am tired of banging my head at this.
