Summary0007533: Simultaneous conversion of WMV to MP4 results in errors

We should find out:
1. Which DS filter isn't thread-safe.
2. Try to fix it (preferred).
3. In case 2. won't be possible, add a lock that would prevent multiple usage of such a filter.

Few more details:
a. AVI (xvid) -> MP4 works fine, but if many conversions (e.g. 8) are started simultaneously from a network drive (i.e. slightly slower one), at least one of them fails in ~5 seconds (as discussed with Michal, probably a timeout).
b. many other conversions (WMV->MP4, AVI->WMV, ...) fail sometimes during the process, which seems to indicate something that isn't thread-safe.

Fixed in build 1360. Video conversion was moved to separate process(es), so it should work ok already, please test it.

Confirmed, there's currently no problem in converting any number of video simultaneously.
