Hello

I'm encoding some videos to h264 on a Mac Mini PPC with ffmpegX.

I think that the x264 engine is really hogging the CPU. Every other application tends to be extremely slow, mlnet traffic falls to almost 0, and sometimes it even kills my internet connection. I understand that h264 is very CPU intensive but the mencoder engine is much more multitasking friendly (when doing other things, it's mencoder that slows down, not the computer).

EDIT : actually it only happens when "i4x4" option is activated.

Is it the way it's supposed to work or is it a bug from the x264 engine ?
