please post complete command line if you
want help instead "i did this and that"

the params for the encoding are *before* the output file

ffmpeg -i "test.m4v" -y -f 'mp4' -vcodec 'libx264' -vb '1024k' -maxrate '4048k' -bufsize '30M' -acodec 'aac'
-strict '-2' -ab '128k' -profile 'main' -threads 1 "out.mp4"

is clearly *one* CPU, in this case H264 main with internal AAC encoder
ffmpeg-2.0 here and "-threads" works since years (0.6 or so)
