====== Is ffdshow multithreaded? ======

The following list gives an overview of parts in ffdshow that are multithreaded and thus show an improvement when run on a multi-core CPU:

    * libavcodec's MPEG1, MPEG2, and H.264 decoders are multithreaded. The number of cores is automatically detected during ffdshow setup but can be configured under "Decoder options" -> "Number of decoding threads". This setting has no effect on Pentium 4 HT CPUs.
    * ffmpeg-mt is the multithreaded version of libavcodec and can be used for H.264 decoding.
    * Xvid, x264, and libavcodec's MPEG1/MPEG2/MPEG4 encoders are multithreaded.
    * Yadif deinterlacer is multithreaded. No configuration is needed.
    * The //resize// filter is fully multithreaded. No configuration is needed.
    * High quality RGB conversion is multithreaded. No configuration is needed.
    * With "Queue & misc" -> "Queue output samples" checked, acceleration using multithreading is enabled. You may see some benefit even on a single-core CPU.
    * Rendering of subtitles' glyph is processed by a background thread.
