Who says one can't adjust?

For now I give up on the "special stuff" happening when rendering.
PD will now render Mpeg's and wmv's using more than one core and at 50% use as avarage,
at acceptable speed.
My native clips are most often in Mp4 1280x720p, which I edit fine in PD.

I cannot render, though, Mp4's without cpu going through the roof and processors been parked.
The new workflow will be to render from PD Mpeg's (or wmv's),
then bring the file(s) in to a converter- and render Mp4's again.
My 2 converters both did convert a 410Mb Mpeg to a 48Mb Mp4 in a few seconds
with 17% use of cpu at the most.

Howdy girl.....

Are all your projects rendering OK? I used to watch my CPU's and all that a few years ago, but after a while you realize it really doesn't matter what the CPU's are doing. I don't think they ever react the same twice in a row doing the same thing because of all those other things that are happening behind that blue screen of death door.

When a CPU is running at 100 percent does not mean it is going to blow up or whatever, the tasks at hand then spill over to another CPU or even disk/memory cache until things calm down and the other CPU's will let the primary CPU have all it's toys back.

That's been happening ever since that first dual core CPU was made, except it did not always work as well as today's motherboards and processors.

My first hard drive was 5 meg, (a whopper) and I no longer needed the cassette tape drive, but still needed the 8 inch floppy, if I remember right it was 140kb- that's kilobytes , my first modem was 8 baud (a screamer).
