After comparing MPEG2 and MPEG2 with HT , I found the question .
On my computer , P4HT2 , 3.2G,
MPEG2 with HT , decoding ratio : nearly 300 fps
MPEG2 without HT , decoding ratio : nearly250 fps
I dont understand the difference between Hyper threading and multi-threading.
AndDosome people havemade DV codec with HT based on DV codec ?

Hi,
The best way to learn Hyper-Threading technology and it's advantages is to search for materials on Intel WEB site. For example, I recommend you to start from here
Shortly,

Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology)1 is a groundbreaking technology that boosts computing performance to keep pace with today's applications and operating systems. HT Technology enables a single processor to function as two "virtual" processors by executing two threads in parallel, allowing you and your software to multi-task more effectively than ever before.

Regards,
Vladimir
