Thanks very much. I did have it set to one job, but CPU usage was medium so I've set it to low. Additionally I saw an option to start commercial flagging when recording starts. I've disabled that also, at least as a test.
Probably 70% of our recording is late night stuff so commercial flagging can get done between 3AM and 7AM and probably cause no problems at all. Again, thanks! - Mark On 9/22/05, Robert Tsai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 22, 2005 at 06:18:11PM -0700, Mark Knecht wrote: > > Is it possible to somehow nice mythcomflag?
