Thanks for the tip. I had wondered about that. Sorry to stray off topic but if I am resizing in one direction at a time as you suggest, is Lanczos3 still a sensible algorithm to use? I am downscaling to 1280x720 from 1920x1080 or 1440x1080 anamorphic.

Distributor() goes at the end of the script. You may not need it - it depends what encoding GUI you use. Try it without.

I am using x264 in MeGUI. Do you know if that normally requires Distributor()? I am only using a Core 2 Duo here in 32-bit XP and when I tested multi-threading without Distributor I had a slight speed drop over ST when I included Distributor and a crash when I didn't. I guess it's not worth attempting MT with a Core 2 Duo but I'm writing a QTGMC/MeGUI tutorial that will be read by a lot of quadcore+ users so I want to guide them the right way.
