Dunno about mphq, but apples movietrailers are 1 + multi_spice, and
for those files the warning is still printed with your patch (as
expected I guess)

Having said that, I'm a little in doubt if the line should be around
at all (in the current form) since there are various other types of
content that cannot be parallelized (which it dont "warn" abount).

Perhaps it should be extended to warn if a user requests
multithreading but the content is single-sliced.
