I had a AMd X4 955 and spend 1 hour (in fact 2 passes of 7.3 minutes for each file) to encodea four 350Mb avi files. I change to a X6 1075T and continue to spend 1 hour (same 7.3 minutes for each of 2 passes for files) to encode those files. I would like to know if your multi-thread have any kind of problem, and by the way, CPU occupation never goes over 49% on win 7.
