I tried searching but I don't think I'm wording my question right...
OK, say when I use DVDFlick and I'm encoding my flick, I set it to the setting that uses the most cpu on the. Software. I'm at work and can't remember exactly what the feature is called but essentially that's what it is. You can select hiow intensive ur system works on the encoding. I also select to use 4 threads.
Well, I set it the highest setting and my CPU doesn't reach 50% at anytime.
Wouldn't it encode a lot faster if I could get my CPU to full load ?
How would/could I do this.

I think it is the way the program is written and it won't do what you want it to any faster with the current hardware.

Yup. Code can only be executed as fast as it was designed to.

The settings you are talking about modify the program's speed, not the processor speed. At lower speed it limits how much data is processed inside the program so that your computer can work on other things at the same time. At higher speeds, it lets to program go as fast as it can. If your cpu doesn't need to use all of its capability processing the program, then it won't.

It's the same concept with any program, such as how Chrome is naturally faster than Internet Explorer. It doesn't mean that when you download Chrome it upgrades your processor, it means that Chrome as a program is just plain faster.
