When I started to convert my vdr recordings to h264 using ffmpeg -vcodec libx264. I saw that running it without -threads or with -threads set to 2, it used the same cpu usage. When I changed it to -threads 3 I started to see more than 100% usage. Perhaps decoding should also use -threads 3 to see it run on more than one cpu ? Perhaps you can modify the ffmpeg profiles? This was on a Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz. Hope this helps somebody. On 8/12/08, Seppo Ingalsuo <seppo.ingalsuo@xxxxxx> wrote: > Lauri Tischler wrote: >> Hi.
