Glibmm:Threads

[Toby Roworth <webmaster orkyden co uk>]

Hello

I'm currently writing a program that decodes video and displays it onto 
a secondary screen using OpenGl, with a GTKmm GUI on the first screen. 
However the video decoding is quite processor intensive, and maxes out 
one of my processors, without the other getting a look in. This prevents 
the GUI from operating whilst video is decoding.

I have attempted to solve this by putting the decoding loop inside a 
Glibmm::Thread, but this does not seem to have any effect - is this 
likely to be because I'm using the wrong tool for the job, misusing the 
right tool or something else.

Any help appreciated

Toby
