You don't need more than 4 cores

ffmpeg uses multiple cores to encode. you could also just rip audio stream off youtube and be done with it.

ffmpeg knows how to use resources, this being a good thing otherwise you would be wasting those cores.

Yes, but the OS isn't very responsive when no core can respond to user input. More than 4 certainly would help.

Children who don't understand technology shouldn't be messing with tools.

Not him but it's probably for compatibility's sake. Personally, I'd just remux the webm wrapped opus into a proper ogg container.

>ffmpeg uses multiple cores to encode
only if you tell it to. As far as I know, most audio encoding libraries are entirely single threaded and the software just encodes multiple files at once if it is setup to do so.

You can set the cores manually with -threads N

In your case you need to ask youtube-dl to do this for you with: --postprocessor-args '-threads N'

Nigga, I don't care if it's a fucking vinyl signed by Bob Dylan himself, it goes on a phone.

thanks

What are you using, a fucking nokia from 2007?

Some chinkshit with bottom speakers.

>it goes on a phone
Android supports opus natively, just remux to ogg and make sure that the filename ends with the ".ogg" or ".oga" extension. iOS supports AAC natively, which youtube also supplies, just remux it to m4a.

Okay.... My nokia from 2007 had support for 8GB SD cards. Nowadays you can get 128.

you do? i could have sworn when i encoded my songs a while ago it used multiple cores. maybe it's my script that opened multiple instances of shell. however, multi core encoding could explain why op's cpu is utilizing all 4 of them. there's no way youtube-dl uses that much cpu power.

Input #0, mp3, from 'Neka se drugi raduju - Oliver Dragojevic..mp3':
Metadata:
encoder : Lavf57.83.100
Duration: 00:03:20.81, start: 0.023021, bitrate: 133 kb/s
Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 133 kb/s

Doesn't look like 1kbps, sounds exactly the same as it does from youtube, at least that's what my TV speakers tell me.

>TV speakers
Fucking serbs playing stolen music on stolen speakers.

Stolen TV, you mean.

OP's image literally has multiple instances of ffmpeg running. Foobar also does the same thing when transcoding multiple songs. Transcoding audio files are so light on CPU time that nobody tries to bother with implementing something as difficult as multithreading. You're better off running multiple instances for maximum efficiency.

>telling something that can use all your cores to use all your cores
>imagine if it was using all your cores!

Also, I hope that doesn't transcode because transcoding lossy to lossy is fucking stupid.

There's a bunch of different libraries for encoding, some are more multithreaded then others so I wouldn't be surprised if some, more modern library can run on all cores in a single instance.

This is from just encoding x265.
