G'day All Just thought I would post some CPU usage statistics whilst MPEG4 streaming.
I am currently encoding and decoding on a Dell T3400 Core 2 Quad CPU machine running Fedora 8! * 3 x Mpeg4 streams as Large * 1 x DV Stream @ 36 megs a second Core 1 - 28% Core 2 - 29% Core 3 - 46% Core 4 - 47% Note: these values change every second, but average usage across all 4 cores is around 40%. Output on TOP PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 29456 jastest 30 10 202m 19m 6004 R 38 1.0 488:18.97 vic 3269 jastest 30 10 90240 23m 7276 S 35 1.2 3:32.75 vic 1482 jastest 30 10 94784 31m 7312 R 33 1.5 18:18.08 vic 1486 jastest 30 10 94664 30m 7316 S 33 1.5 17:11.20 vic 2798 root 20 0 419m 55m 13m S 13 2.8 162:08.95 X I hope this information is useful to some.

I've not yet tried MPEG4 (I only update vic t'other day), but I'll give that a bash. Machine is AMD X2 4400+, 2Gb ram, Fedora 8. jh -- "Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve." -- Erich Fromm
