Subject:Multi threading in scripts

Hiya,

I'm wondering if there are any plans to make the scripting/batch engine thread safe so we could run multiple batch converts in parallel? Now that there are lots of quad and eight core computers about now it would be extremely useful to be able to run batch convert jobs in parallel.

We have done some work on our own Batch Convert implementation using your batch engine exposed to the scripting API but when trying to load a batch job from another thread we get crashes trying to access the IScriptableApp COM object.

Thanks

Mark
