Windows Media Encoder 9 - slow operation

[BlackPear1]

I'm using WME9 to convert DivX files to WMV for use on a Pocket PC device. On my A64 3700+ machine, everything works fine - 100% CPU usage and a quick encode. But on my A64 X2 3800+ machine (which I thought would be even faster thanks to multi threading), CPU stays at or below 20% and encode times are very long. I've removed/reinstalled WME9 and A64 and dual-core drivers, closed all other software and disabled CnQ and screen saver and use the same files and setup on both machines.

What am I doing wrong?

Try reloading the DivX component. That is the only thing I can suggest at the moment. It might be a source decode issue before it converts it.
