Encore & Quad-core

Postby jackfalbey » Mon Mar 10, 2008 1:43 pm

I'm having trouble finding an answer to this question:

Does Encore CS3 use all available cores when transcoding? Can anyone with a Quad-core or dual-Quad rig confirm this? It definitely maxes out both cores in my m6300, but several forums have conflicting info regarding Encore's use of more than 2 cores...

I have dual, dual core Xeons Jack, and I am pretty sure it uses all 4 cores.
I am going to be authoring a wedding DVD in the next week or so, I will do a test and let you know the results later this week (I hope).

Jack, just ran a very quick test and the answer to your question is 'Yes'. :lol: :lol: All four cores are active (according to Everest Ultimate).

EDIT: Sorry, my home wireless network went down before I could finish the posting. :( :(

The test file that I used was not big enough to determine whether all four coes maxed out, but all four coes were active.
