reducing cpu usage

Post by LastButNotLeast »

Does play_nice still work?
My mkvs get a little choppy when Comskip kicks in.
:wink:

should be yes, but playnice is per frame, so if decoding one frame causes a "chop" then is will not help.

It's probably when Comskip has to "think" for a moment. I was actually quite pleased that I finally figured out that that was probably what was happening. I'll try setting it to something higher than 10 and see if I notice a problem again. It doesn't matter to me how long it takes Comskip to do its thing.
Thanks again. Seems to be working great (marking about 18 to 22 minutes per 60 minute CSI episode as commercial, which is about right).
