Comment (by xnejp03):

 Hi, I'm the author of the software. wmv2 is the only wmv-based encoder
 that FFmpeg supports, and is needed for on-the-fly transcoding for Xbox
 (among others). The encoder doesn't support -threads with value other than
 1. It's a major bottleneck, especially for HD videos. I'm not sure multi-
 threaded VC1 decoder will help, as the same will happen when transcoding
 (for example) MKV/H264 HD file.

 I appreciate wmv2 is deprecated, but this would really help a lot, unless
 there is a chance of  wmv3 encoder.

 Regarding -copyts: it's an attempt to keep audio/video in sync, but it
 might be completely inappropriate, the documentation on this parameter is
 a bit scarce :-)
