DivX 6.1, x264, VirtualDub, etc. You didn't say what you would be encoding. Also VirtualDub will give you seperate threads for input/output where as DivX or x264 will giver you multiple encoding threads. If your pre processing is heavy enough (lots of AVISynth filtering) then seperate input/output threads might be enough to use both cores.
