CPU Load while recording in renderless mode

Postby manolito » Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:31 am

My computer is too slow to record while watching the video, but recording in renderless mode works just fine. I am just curious why the CPU load is much higher when recording to TS than when recording to MPEG.

When I record to MPEG I consistently get a CPU load between 10% and 15%. Recording to TS gives me a CPU load between 40% and 55%.

I cannot see a difference in the resulting stream, both ways it works perfectly. What additional calculations is DVBDream doing in TS mode to make my CPU load so much higher?

Cheers

Wow! Right on the money! Thank you so much!

With the new rec_mng.dll my CPU load now is exactly the same for TS mode as it is for MPG mode. And I did not find any problems with the recorded TS stream.

Thanks again
