Converting Convert >>   begins conversion:

Overall progress is shown at the top, and time remaining is also presented. Multiple CPU cores will be used at the same time by each encoder, in the above example three encoders are running side by side. It is possible to force usage of specific encoder count, or CPUs per encoder with the DSP Effect 'Multi-CPU Force'. Whilst converting the number of encoders in use can be changed by selecting Options >> Encoding, this change is only for the current encoding queue. Encoding Priority instructs how much time should be given to dBpoweramp in relation to other programs, set to Idle to allow the conversion to progress in the background and not interrupt your work. Even on a lower setting, 100% of the core is used. After conversion there is an option to show the error log (on by default), to add a Windows notification detailing completion or to shut down the computer.
