You can set more than 16 threads manually. +``--vd-lavc-assume-old-x264=<yes|no>`` + Assume the video was encoded by an old, buggy x264 version (default: no). + Normally, this is autodetected by libavcodec. But if the bitstream contains + no x264 version info (or it was somehow skipped), and the stream was in fact + encoded by an old x264 version (build 150 or earlier), and if the stream + uses ``4:4:4`` chroma, then libavcodec will by default show corrupted video. + This option sets the libavcodec ``x264_build`` option to ``150``, which + means that if the stream contains no version info, or was not encoded by + x264 at all, it assumes it was encoded by the old version. Enabling this + option is pretty safe if you want your broken files to work, but in theory + this can break on streams not encoded by x264, or if a stream encoded by a + newer x264 version contains no version info.
