Hey all- Oh my gosh. Last night I converted "We were soldiers" from dvd to svcd using DVD2SVCD... Any rate... I switched from TMPGEnc to CCE due to its ability to make 4 passes in 3/4 the time TMPGEnc takes to make 2 passes.. Any who, TMpgenc used almost all my cpu processing at 100% at all times but only sucked up about 30,000k of memory... I opened up the task manager today to find that CCE is using 100% but also is using 141,000K of MEMORY???:confused: Does this seem right???? I mean I am totally ok with it because I have 512 megs of ram.. So in my ram program I have free right now about 226megs of ram... As soon as CCE stops/finishes its encoding it jumps instantly to 350 to 400 free megs... Just seems a little high to me.. If this is what makes CCE fast then thats just fine with me... It beats TMPGEnc any day of the week... Also I am getting a encoding speed of .925 Is this good or bad? I will post my PC specs below for anyone to compare... I just wish there was a way to keep the CPU from using 100% constantly.. Is this hard on chips??? Thanks so much for your time today... Spankey Hewlett Packard 520N 1.3 Celeron Radeon 32 VC 512 megs ram 60 gig HD Windows Xp Home Ed... P.S. ALso another thing? In task manager, It shows CCE encoder NOT RESPONDING? But it finishes and shows the frames moving and that it is encoding? Could something be wrong making the CPU move at 100%? I have CCE 2.5 and NO patches? Should I install a patch or update?

a) Your speed seems okay for your config. b) It is normal for CCE to show up as "Not running" in the Task Manager (don't ask me why?). It is doing its job nonetheless. c) Cannot comment on the memory issue but yes, if you are running CCE then most other applications will slow down significantly. You can use the option in DVD2SVCD to set the priority level to below normal or idle, then your other applications will run a little faster - DVD2SVCD will take lower priority than other apps - of course, this means that it will take longer too to complete the task.
Pyre, Thanks for your reply... You know what it seems that when CCE launches. It launches two screens. One is the progress screen which shows the movie in frames and the progress 0-100% and the other screen shows the movie file and its size and such.. Thats the one that when I put the mouse on it, its thinking??? Also the borders are all distorted like its not responding?:rolleyes: This screen has the ENCODE and EXIT buttons on it. Can I close that? And leave up the progress screen? Or will that kill it totally? Thanks again for your help... Spankey
The progress screen should be launching when you click on the ENCODE button, right?. On my PC, the background screen goes white (kind of hanging) when the Progress screen comes up. Killing the background screen will likely kill the encode along with the Progress Screen - I think youl would like to minimize the screens to your task bar but I don't think you can do that.
Good point, I use the Task Bar in XP Pro to identify the CCE process and change the priority there to below normal or lower, especially if I am using CCE outside of DVD2SVCD.

Could someone please tell me how to code the line in a batch file to do what FAQ #9 talks about? I'm running Win98FE and the batch file in FAQ #9 doesn't work. Am running CCE basic.
The easiest way to do it would be to install EclCCE and set the priority there. See the stickie at the top of the forum for EclCCE. EclCCE adds an extra menu item to CCE (2.66+) to give you extra settings like runtime priority, run minimized, hide cancel button, ect. This thread was originally written before EclCCE existed.
