  • Come now Alex T, you know bloody well that most people using UNA can't compile their own versions of FFMPEG.  I have done it myself and it wasn't exactly a fun process.  Even Boonex does not compile their own version of FFMPEG.  Let me ask you this Alex T, have you ever compile FFMPEG?  If you have, then why not go ahead and compile FFMPEG with PThread support and add it to UNA?  Or, if you know of a compiled FFMPEG with PThread support then tell us where it is; you don't need to change the path, just replace the current FFMPEG.  I looked for FFMPEG with PThread and could not find it so that is why I went through the trouble to try to compile my own.

      Yes

      We provide basic version which works on most servers and can't overload the server by taking all CPU power. Only recently we used 64bit version of ffmpeg, before 32bit version was always used. 

      I'm very greatful who make static builds available for free it save us a lot of time, so we are using this opportunity and can do other important things. 

      To increase ffmpeg performance for the best results you need to compile own ffmpeg which is using your hardware capabilities for the best performance.
