[MPlayer-users] Multithreaded decoding support for x264-encoded H.264

[Ulrich]

Hi Nico,


I've used "-lavdopts threads=2" since it was implemented and for me it
works very well - I can watch many DVB-S2-HDTV broadcasts (almost all
use 1080 lines and high-bitrates) only this way (or with reduced quality
settings).

But when I transcode such a broadcast stream using x264 for archiving
purposes, suddenly my computer isn't fast enough any more which is a bit
unsatisfactory..

Thanks,
Ulrich
