Public bug reported:
I tried to get a movie transcoded with libx264 and libvorbis instead of
AC3-DTS but avconv is not using all 4 cores of my computer. The original
file has the video track plus three audio tracks, one in DTS-HD MA, one
in DTS and the last one in AC3.
My command line is this:
avconv -i MOVIE.mkv -map 0:0 -codec:v libx264 -pass 1 -threads 6
-coder:v ac -g 240 -keyint_min 23 -bf:v 16 -b_strategy 2 -b-bias 0 -refs

-deblock 0:0 -acodec libvorbis -async 1 -b:a:0 640k -metadata:s:a:0
title="arc Vorbis 640k 5.1" OUTPUT-MOVIE.mkv
I tried to do a 1 pass encode with the second pass command (without the
-pass 2 option) for testing purposes and it didn't use more than 1 core
(total load of avconv remained ~130%, I assume it's 100% of libx264 plus
some processing for the audio). At times it went up near 400% but it
never didn't stay at full load, most of the time (99% of the time) was
spent on ~130%. I've also tried with -threads auto, -threads 0, -threads
4 but no luck.
I'm using the avconv available in Ubuntu 13.10 repositories (I'm on
Kubuntu 13.10): 6:0.8.10-0ubuntu0.13.10.1
