So i just spent a good while searching around on here for an answer to this and i cant seem to find one. For some reason when i run xvid through mencoder and i use threads on the either pass it creates the additional threads like its susposed too but it only uses one of them (see below, truncated output from top)


CPU states: 50.1% user, 0.0% nice, 0.2% system, 0.1% interrupt, 49.6% idle

PID PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME CPU COMMAND
82244 122 0 62436K 55756K CPU1 1 52:02 99.02% mencoder

82244 20 0 62436K 55756K kserel 0 52:02 0.00% mencoder


Im using mencoder r22187 and xvid 1.2.-127 which i just compiled from the most recent cvs/svn versions availible. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? ive tried this at threads set from 2 up to 8 with no difference, only the first one seems to do something. other codecs seem to work properly for this so im not sure why xvids doing it. any suggestions?
