disable worker threads in MeGUI?

The alternative is to right-click all my jobs and send them to the same worker, but I'm wondering if there is an option to just disable works threads all together.

Please explain your exact scenario and why you are trying to do this. Why would you want to disable the worker threads? How many workers do you have? I don't understand your question completely.

I'm assuming you only want one worker to be running, I do, two or more instances of dgindex running concurrently takes 3 or 4 times longer(if not more) to process than if they run one after the other or at least that's been my experience, same thing with muxing.

@unskinny - like rebkell said, there comes of point of diminishing returns on too many processes running simultaneously. I think HDD usage is the bottle neck. I'd like to have just one work thread since x264 does a great job using all four of my quad's cores by itself.

@rebkell - thanks, this is exactly what I wanted!
