I have a problem, I use DVD Shrink with oc'ed AMD Athlon 435 (triple core)and I noticed that the program is far slower than on my other machine which uses Intel Pentium Dual Core 5200 (also oc'ed). The CPU usage of both machines also differs - in case of the Intel is ca. 90%, but in case of the AMD it does not exceed 33% which suggests that the scheduler "sees" only one core. Is any possibility to correct it?

No, Shrink uses only one core.

What the heck are they going on about? Of course does Shrink run on Vista.
