Hey guys, did you know that your conversation is not taking place on the
mailing list? Rather, it is occurring as a series of comments about one
hunk of a commit on github.
Carl, x264 detects number of CPU threads and makes a whole bunch of them
when threads=0. I made it explicit here so that when an app like Shotcut
loads the preset, it will set the thread usage for H.264 to "automatic" by
default. Other codecs like MJPEG and ProRes fail when multiple threads are
requested the last time I checked, which is why I am setting them to 1 - in
case a Shotcut user chooses 4 for MPEG-2 in some previous encoding job and
then chooses an MJPEG preset to setup the next encoding job. Then, the UI
will change threads to a safe number and not cause an unexpected error.
