            Status: UNCONFIRMED

As initially reported in pitivi bug #573395, there are various codecs where the
user has to manually set the amount of threads to use when encoding. Theora,
x264 and VP8 seem to behave differently or in strange ways. I haven't tested
other codecs yet.

Users should never have to set those things manually. GStreamer encoders should
use the multiple cores efficiently by default, no matter what the codec.
