I have a dual-core CPU, and over a GIPS-year of transcoding to do on it. The FAQ states that Auto-GKnot is happy to work with multiple cores, but it needs the codec to support multiple threading natively to get the full benefit from it.

Do I:

1. Run two instances of Auto-GKnot at the same time, one for each core?

2. Search the relevant MPEG-4 codec fora for the relevant information.

3. Compare the transcoding speed using one core to that with both cores, and deduce the optimum configuration for myself?

The latest version of Xvid, bundled with AutoGK, supports threads...
But you have to set it manually in Xvid 's settings...
Programs-->Xvid-->Configure encoder-->Other options-->Encoder-->Threads...
