I'm thinking of upgrading my 6-core setup (single CPU) setup to a 2x8-core/CPU setup. I'm wondering what software will allow me to fully utilize all the cores.
I've been using handbrake but I do not think it utilizes all the cores. I prefer software that is freeware but paid software is ok too if it's not to expensive.
Thanks!

Handbrake uses ffmpeg, x264, x265, as well as libvpx, the first 3 are very well threaded and will easily load up 16 cores.
Thing is, on the ultra fast preset x264 will not load up all the cores, not even loading up 8 virtual threads on a quad core HT Haswell encoding 1080p. A 4k x265 encode will certainly use all the threads a desktop pc can offer.
