[Cin] Cinepack encoding - very slow!

20 Oct 2019

      I tried cinepack encoder, it was single-threaded, and for 720x400 movie fragment (25 sec) encoding
was finished in 16 min, with nearly 4Ghz AMD processor!

Also, I tried dca/MLP/truehd audio encoders from ffmpeg, but they all require 'strict=-2", and I got few BOOBYs along the way:

Trying to stop such ultralong encode via pressing single red X near rendering progress bar in main CinGG window 
not resulted in immediate stopping, it was doing something for few more minutes, I watched  output file still growing
with du -h file, but then end result was viewable in mplayer:
