title: ffmpeg x264 CPU core scaling
body: <p>Does anyone have any experence with this type of thing? Currently using a Ryzen 7 8c/16T CPU, and using a program called <a href="http://mion.faireal.net/BES/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">BES</a>. Using 10% CPU, is almost no slower at transcoding from mkv to mp4 (both x264, i know i can just copy them) than using 100% cpu on all 16 threads. So, Since this is the case, What is the ideal core count for libx264? I mean, Does the same type of thing happen with 32 threads? Or 8 threads, etc.</p>
