DVD Shrink and Dual core

[SilverBlade]

will DVD shrink take advantage of the hyperthreading capabilities of a Dual Core processor?

[Dv8ted2]

I doubt it, because DVD shrink was discontinued before Dual Core was ever thought of.

You might be able to run dvdshrink along side other apps without a performance hit:

"Even without a multithread-enabled application, you will still see benefits of dual-core processors if you are running an OS that supports TLP. For example, if you have Microsoft Windows XP (which supports multithreading), you could have your Internet browser open along with a virus scanner running in the background, while using Windows Media Player to stream your favorite radio station and the dual-core processor will handle the multiple threads of these programs running simultaneously with an increase in performance and efficiency."
