[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg CPU usage

By nonscripted I assume you mean the command without the variables. Here it 
is: 

ffmpeg -y -i "inputVid" -c:v libx264 -preset fast -b:v 480k -threads 0 -c:a 
libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -f mp4 "outputVid.mp4"

here is the ffmpeg output from the server I'm using to transcode:

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

I compiled it using the instructions here:

I'll look into the "-movflag faststart" option. Thanks for the tip. Let me 
know if you need anything else from me.
