Only a few games currently make use of multiple cores but Nero Vision and Windows Movie Maker (vista version) both make use of multiple cores reducing video transcoding time dramatically.

Converting a 90 minute movie from .avi to dvd format used to take about 45 minutes on a 3ghz single core processor, but on this 2.4ghz quad core machine it now only takes about 16 minutes to convert the video.
