Re: Divx converter, not multi threaded?

Any ideas?
If it's really pegging one core at 100%, then it's doing better than most single-threaded apps. Most will only hit about 70% on one core. I'm guessing that the other core is running about 20-30% during a conversion. All in all, it's doing pretty well. Many of the video apps have to have multi-core switched on in the preferences, so pop the hood and have a look around in there.
