The latest version will be compatible for 8 cores?

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.1.0



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 Pro



HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR -  provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.

It all really depends on your encoding settings. You can also run multiple encodes at the same time, though unfortunately the interface requires you to launch multiple instances of HandBrake.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. I am wondering how I can run multiple encodes on my PC? You mean, I will be able to run 3, 4 HandBrake??
Sorry, I don't get that point. Also, I can assign CPU ID (Core ID) and set CPU(ID) priority?

Yes, but it's a relatively narrow use case.

For contemporary encodes, HB generally scales fine to 8+ cores easily without any particular effort on your part.
