Adobe Premier not using all my cores to export .avi files

[gauchogolfer]

Hi all,
So, I'm using Adobe Premier Pro to edit/export some high-def video.
When I export to Adobe Media Exporter, or use a Quicktime/H.264 codec from Export->Movie, all of my available cores get used.
However, when I export to .avi (either compressed or uncompressed) only one core is used.

Any ideas how to solve this? I'm on an XP workstation, btw.

And this is a Mac forum.

Umm, there are plenty of people on the 'Digital Video' forum who are not solely Mac users. I happen to have both, but my problem is with a dual core machine.

Thank you for your contribution, btw.

Update: after getting some replies on the Adobe user forums, it appears that each codec determines whether or not multiple cores can be used. For older codecs like Cinepak it appears only one core is recognized. WMV seems to be somewhere in between. Looks like I'll be sticking to H.264 as much as possible.

Well cinepak, I don't know why it is still proposed today, it is so outdated
