[FFmpeg-user] libvpx-vp9 not using all 4 real cores (no HT CPU) like libx264 does (in top: ~250% vs ~387%)

ffmpeg's "-crf" maps to vpxenc's "--cq-level=" and, in your use case,
"--end-usage=cq".

ffmpeg's "-cpu-used" maps to vpxenc's "--cpu-used".

I think "-threads" maps directly.

How do I know? I checked the source. ;-) If you use "-loglevel debug"
to ffmpeg, the libvpx encoder will also dump quite a lot of information
about the configuration it is using!

Just to make sure you have comparable options...
