Hello,
over christmas I installed a new AMD 64 X2 3800+ CPU in an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Mobo looking forward to real fast encodings with Nero Recode2.
To my suprise Recode2 immediately died when I started the encoding without any error message. It worked fine when I removed one core from the Recode process in task manager.
I contacted Nero Support and got the following answer (German, translation follows):
"Dies hägnt zusammen mit der internen Architektur des Dual Core. Viele Anwendungen kommen damit noch nicht zurecht.
Sollten Sie weitere Fragen haben, können Sie uns jederzeit eine email zusenden.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Nero Technical Support"
Translation
"This is due to the internal architecture of the dual core. A lot of applications do not get along with that."
For me this means that Nero Recode2 does _not_ work utilizing both cores of an AMD Dual-Core CPU.
At the moment I can't cut down encoding times using both cores to speed up the encoder. I can run two Recode processes though and bind them to different cores which gives me two encodings at roughly the same time as one encoding with a single core.
Regards
Klaus
PS: Same problem with Itunes ripping CDs. Versions prior 6.0.2 also died running both cores. Apple resolved that in 6.0.2.
