Will next Nero Recode be Dual core optimized?

[dvd_maniac]

I am looking into buying a new system. Currently looking at the dual core 3.2 Pentium D (Not Extreme Edition) with the Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard. My main reason for upgrading from my current P4 2.8 is faster video encodes. I encode my captured tv shows with AutoGK and my DVD rips with Nero Recode AVC Standard Profile.
Will the next version of Recode be optimized for the Dual Core?

why ppl dont use search or read the appropriate threads?
It has been already discussed...

However the answer is: YES.

Hey Sharky, calm thyself.
I think you are basing your answer of "YES" on this peice of that thread

Now, right in this very forum you'll find the changelog of the upcoming ateme high profile encoder. Amongst many other things, this might interest you:

Quote:
- multi-threaded encoding support

Now, nowhere in that thread (Which I did read as I am the one that started it) did it answer my current question which has to do with the Standard AVC profile and will that be optimized?
Maybe I am confused and maybe even a bit thick in the head sometimes, but I DO use the search function.....

If I am confused as to the Ateme High Profile Encoder being THE encoder with different profiles within it, like the AVC Standard Profile then I am stupid and apoligize for asking about it again.
If the High Profile Encoder is just another profile in Recode like the new PSP profile then I again apoligize for not making my question clear enough.

More important... will Nero be ported to MacOS X Intel?

I mean, it shouldn't be that hard to port the Ateme's codec. The platform is the same, and it supports the same Assembly I suppose. Porting the whole Nero framework might be more difficolt... :P

The "High Profile" encoder supports various toolsets from the standard text including tools from :
- The baseline profile
- The main profile
- The high profile.

These normative profiles simply states which encoding tools that the encoder may use. For example, cabac encoding requires at least main profile, 8x8 transform requires high profile.

The names uses in Nero Recode bear no direct relationship with the standard text.

The multi-thread optimization is unrelated to the profiles; it thus can be used whatever the profile.

Hi, OK, so I just did a 5 minute chapter from "The Life Aquatic" DVD in latest Recode with Standard AVC profile (720x304 at 720 kbps), and the results were not so exciting: ~8 fps for each pass with only 55% total CPU usage of Pentium D 820. Both cores are being used, but not to their full potential. In task manager graph, it looked like one core was at 75% and the other was at only 25%.

Based on these results, I would consider going with x264, as it seems much more optimized for multiple CPU.
this is taken from the thread i linked...

Now, nowhere in that thread (Which I did read as I am the one that started it) did it answer my current question which has to do with the Standard AVC
obviously you didnt read it. so, please, next time ...

[dvd_maniac]

I'm sorry Sharktooth, but I do not consider 75% and 25% to be optimized. I did read that portion of the thread and I guess this is just a difference of opinion as to the word "Optimized" so I will just leave it at that.
But thank you very much for your constructive criticism...

@kwtc
Thank you for answering my question :)
