Since Flask is quickly becoming a pretty popular benchmark and gaining popularity as the best MPEG-4 encoder, it seems to me that it would be a pretty good candidate for SMP support (i.e. using multiple cpus to increase performance and lower encoding time) Anyways, since Flask is open source does anybody know of any plans to add this functionality in the immediate future? Or is Flask so memory bandwidth dependent that it wouldn't make much sense to do so? If such an application did have such functionality then I would see this as a big persuasion to persue a dual P3 workstation (or Athlon whenever they come) because it could potentially cut down encoding times by quite a bit especially when it takes upwards of 4 hours or more for a 90 min DVD on a 1GHz P3.
