    Two issues here:

    (1) The version of ffmpeg included is old:
         ->   built on Mar 20 2009 07:27:34, gcc: 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)

    Yes, I realize this might not match up with the svn checkout date, but the code can't be any newer than the build date, assuming the clock was set correctly on the box on which it was built, and also assuming the builder didn't own a tricked-out DeLorean.

    (2) Even though there's an option in the prefs to select the maximum number of encoding threads ffmpeg should use, the build of ffmpeg included does not have thread support compiled in:

         -> Warning: not compiled with thread support, using thread emulation

    kthxbai.
