wish list: allow multicore machine to process multiple video's at once

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set the "threads" option in Winff to something bigger than 1 on a multicore 
machine.
2. Add multiple files to the list
3. Hit "Convert"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The batch script generated by Winff will go through the files one by one and 
ffmpeg will use the appropriate amount of threads if the codec can handle it, 
but if the codec only does single threaded, Winff could use the other cores for 
other videos.

Unsure at the moment which codecs are effected.

You can do this by starting multiple conversions. Say you had 8 videos to 
convert and a quad core processor. You could add 2 of them and start it. Add 
another 2, etc..

Is this worth pursuing?  I'm guessing not.

I am not using a multi core system, but if you are using winff to convert loads 
of video's and you want it as fast as possible, it might save you quiet some 
time if you could use all the available cores. I guess that BiggMatt's solution 
does work, but users don't know and it is non-intuitive.

I am using webm format and there is no multithreading in codec and winff is 
processing videos sequentially.
