    I agree with you that the gui toolkit is pretty uninteresting from the users pov, or at least mine. I do wonder if the multi-threaded transcoding pipeline changes in ffmpeg 7 will improve performance in handbrake at all. I’m not sure if Handbrake calls the ffmpeg cli or not.

      It’s annoying but you can do multiple transcodes at a time on everything but Linux. It’s only annoying because the complexity of h265 means it’s highly serialized compared to older codecs.

      I could easily handle multiple transcodes at a time on my 12 core processor with dvds but something like 4k blueray and sometimes hd blueray (depending on the complexity) saturates my processor. It doesn’t run transcodes in a separate process

      Did they add support in this version?
