The Blind Side

[CBR929]

Why is my cpu usage is at 99 percent for? Is there a way to fix this or bring it down? I have Intel i7 960 3.2ghz, 8gb memory, I have all codces set on software.

What do you have for a video card?

Because you are using it doing the compression !!!

I honestly suggest that you need to do a little homework on researching this forum so that you will not have to ask inane questions such as this.

This is why I don't compress. Defeats the purpose of Blu-Ray. Compressing with your optical drive will take longer and add more wear and tear on your optical drive. Like everyone said, read the entire disc uncompressed to your HDD and then use THAT file as your source to create another file that will be compressed to fit on a 25gb disc. Let your Hdd do the work. Also stay away from cheap media like Ritek.

TDK,verbatim, or Sony typically.

To answer your original question, your CPU use is it 99% because Blu-rays have high bitrates and you are not sharing the encode/decode duties between your GPU and your CPU. Try setting some of the A/V Codec controls to CUDA. I suggest you try it with the encoding set to Software+CUDA. If you need to compress the main movie to fit on a BD25 (not always necessary), the advice in the earlier posts to copy first to your hard drive with no compression is sound. Conversions for mobile devices or players will also run faster from a hard drive folder than from the original disc.

Signals, I am sorry but this user is unhelpable.

He has been told exactly what you have told him on multiple threads over the last week or two.

Several times in several threads .
Different movie - same questions over and over.

Thanks for your help

You are welcome, but nothing anyone else told you was wrong. And you should always post relevant log files first.

Hey signals, I just tried the blind side again, I saved to hard drive first as bd-50, then I compressed from hard drive to another folder onto my hard drive, then I used imgburn to burn onto bd-r 25gb, played it back on my sonny stand alone and it still pixelated at some parts of the movie but not as bad as before. I burned at 4X and I have lastest firmware. using 8.0.9.1

Post the ImgBurn log from the burn and Fab internal log from the compression step. You will get much better results if you don't read and write the same hard drive (an external USB drive is fine). Update to 8092 also.
