At the moment, I'm trying to convert a video for my parents (.h264 mkv 720p to divx so it plays on my DVR). But it's moving at molasses-like speeds. I did a test convert with a small snippet I grabbed with QT Pro. ~4800 frames took an amazing 34 mins to convert! So I figured at that rate it would take 77 hours to convert the entire video.
(Doing this on my 2.33 MBP btw) To the main question...so the multi-core use is dependant on the codec itself right? Since I saw in activity monitor that only one core was being used. Doesn't visualhub use something like ffmpegx to do it's work? And is there anyway to convert using both of my cores?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE: Did a 45000-frame encode, 588 minute convert time, sigh...
UPDATE AGAIN: Duplicated VHub app and it runs. Now grab another chunk of video and convert. There! both cores used. Although not my favourite workaround.
