stressing dual quad core with x.264 encoding

[xxxii]

hi,

i try to stress my new macpro with x.264 encoding.

it multipass encode it allready nearly in realtime. but my cpu is on 20% usage pretty bored.

If it would be possible to encode 2 files or more at the same time that would help much.

thanks xxxii

This optimized x264 codec should help. It might not still max out the processor, but as the tests show on an intel mac it is 11% faster.

I use it with my G5 and got a 20% speed increase and he got 25%, but that's on a PPC of course.
