multithreaded/SMP motion estimation multithreaded/SMP encoding for MPEG1/MPEG2/MPEG4/H263 all pthread specific code is in pthread.c to try it, run configure --enable-pthreads and ffmpeg ... -threads <num> the internal thread API is a simple AVCodecContext.execute() callback which executes a given function pointer with different arguments and returns after finishing all, that way no mutexes or other thread-mess is needed outside pthread.c
