SMP support needed in XviD? How/when?

[AmazingRando]

My dual xeon rig is crippled with my favourite codec because of no SMP support, and seemingly some problems with hyperthreading as well. :rolleyes:

I've read comments from several people in this forum that SMP support isn't there, and probably won't be - no one wants to pick up the vestigal code and revive it. The question I have is what is going to happen next year with dual core processors? Without it whoever has a dual core Intel or AMD processor will only get 1/2 the speed of their machine. Seems like SMP support is something that could be used today and will set us up for next year. :sly:

Thoughts?

It's a "simple" matter of finding a person who would do that. P/I-frame encoder cannot be multithreaded in any good way, but B-frames can be, quite nicely.

Volunteers? :)

SMP support of B-frame encoding would be great, so who ever is willing to program it got my vote :)
