Yes but as a computer nerd, I'm interested in encoding as fast as possible
:)
Can you imagine the task split up over 20 processors, so that encoding
takes only a few seconds? A beowulf cluster of encoders? ;) [not the
same sort of parallelization though :)]
Of course, if you have multiple files to encode, and you're not concerned
with speed, then one encode per processor is probably the best way to go.
