<p class=MsoNormal>Hi, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I am trying to get h264 to thread somewhat
nicely across 4 cores in windows xp. I am using the latest nightly of
x264 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>x264-snapshot-20080427-2245.tar.bz2 also tried x264-snapshot-20080323-2245.tar.bz2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>compiling x264 without pthread and compiling into ffmpeg
seems to use only one core. While the rest are close to idle….
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Compiling pthread into ffmpeg still using the non pthread
x264 compile, seems that it will use 2 cores. While the other two remain unused
more or less.. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Compiling x264 with pthread as a dll that is shared, and
ffmpeg without pthread seems to be better, it seems to use three cores, however
one is pegged pretty high while two others are about half used. And the last
core is pretyy much not used…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Compiling x264 with pthreads as a dll that is shared, and
ffmpeg using pthreads however oddly enough the encoder doesn’t even function….
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there something I have to do a patch for the latest x264
to handle threading nicely for ffmpeg??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
