could you comment on this proposal?
Q...: Does DVD2SVCD support dual processors?
A: DVD2SVCD is a frontend to multiple steps. Most of these steps don't support multiple processors, in fact only CCE and TMPG do. The good thing about this is that the most time consuming process, video encoding, is performed by any of these two programs. On the downside, these programs' speed relies highly on the frame serving by avisynth. Avisynth, sadly, does NOT support dual processors.
Practically, this means that:
1) when encoding with the ultrafast program CCE, speed is mostly limited by avisynth. Avisynth is using 50% of your cpu resources, CCE only needs about 10-15%. Speed will be faster compared to a single processor pc, but not that much.
2) when encoding with the not so fast program TMPG, speed is limited by both avisynth and TMPG. Most of the time 100% of your cpu resources will be used. Speed will be a lot faster compared to a single processor pc, but it will still be slower than encoding with CCE.
