-.B threads=<1\-4>
-Split each frame into slices and encode them in parallel (default: 1).
-Also allows multithreaded decoding if the decoder supports it (lavc does not).
-This has a slight penalty to compression.
-Requires that libx264 was compiled with pthread support; if not, this
-option will produce a warning and enables slices but not multithreading.
+.B threads=<0\-16>
+Spawn threads to encode in parallel on multiple CPUs (default: 1).
+This has a slight penalty to compression quality.
+0 or 'auto' tells x264 to detect how many CPUs you have and pick an
+appropriate number of threads.
