Comment (by jeroenost):

 I can confirm this issue. The culprit might be this commit:
 http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/ffmpeg.git/?a=commit;h=59297ad63dbd7f9a587e742e1d5b0e94ae125fff

 Multithreaded decoding is disabled for H264.
 That is a problem for high resolution H264 videos that need to reencoded
 realtime to another format by a multicore CPU with a relative low clock
 freq, where a single core cannot decode the entire video fast enough.
