DivXand Dual Core??
Posted by jmcleod@gru.net on January 23rd, 2007


Does DivX support dual core? (latest download) or is the
"trial version" crippled?
The web pages seems to indicate that it does use SMP and Dual Core.l

BUT not on my AMD 4600 X2...
the converter only uses one single core.

I wish stand alone dvd players supported NeroDigital mp4.
Have read that they exist but it must be European.
Have never seen any file support in U.S. except DivX.
Which is why I am trying it.

Even tho I prefer NeroDigital mp4 I've learned to go
with what is popular.. no more "beta vs vhs" mistakes.

At great compression Nero goes soft while DivX goes BLOCKY.
I find blocky to be MUCH more unpleasant to look at.

Even if DivX did use both cores nero is much faster
and better looking.

Thoughts Welcome!
