View Full Version : Codecs to use with CCE on multiprocessor machine

Does anyone have some favorite and preferably fast and lossless codec with MULTITHREADED interface, so CCE (2.7 SP) will use all horsepower of machine? I used to work with HUFFYUV, but recently found that CCE is encoding only on one CPU and second one is not used. After bit of researching I found that most of codecs including last version of HUFFYUV are propably programmed without multithreading in mind so CCE couldnt use its full power, because codec (or VfW input to CCE) is not able to handle more than one processor. BUT if I use for example DV codec, CCE is surprisingly using 98% of computing power and runing 2-4 times faster on the same material (PAL progressive). I tried even AviSynth as handler for "problematic" codecs, but encoding was even a bit slower.

And just for information, all tests are done after clean install of WinXP SP1.

Any idea?

CCE-SP dosen't support multithreading future.

Sorry for my English:)
Everything what I wrote was wrong. I wanted say:

CCE-SP dosen't support Hyperthreading ( option from Intel processors,
which simulations 2 procesors) but you're talking about something different- multiprocessor machine.
