Multitasking is the execution of 2 or more programs at one time.

Multithreading "threads" may be a stand-alone task. Video can be a thread and audio as another single program or application so it can be executed as two or more "threads" of instruction. Processors must support multithreading (processing) abilities of hardware to run two programs at once.
