When revVideograbber is previewing or recording the
CPU use on my Mac Book Pro (2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2
Duo) spikes up to about 105 %. (This gets the fan
running quite high) I have checked other apps that
record video. Quicktime player goes up to over 150%
when previewing or recording. Another application
BTV Pro, (www.bensoftware.com) which when
recording the CPU use is around 100 - 147% but when
previewing is only about 25%.
Is there a way to reduce the CPU use at least during
previewing?
While previewing or recording with revVideograbber
I have a repeat loop to call the revVideoGrabIdle with
a 'wait 1 millisecond with messages' command to
give proccessing time for other processes. Is this a
factor in the CPU use. Is there a best practice in
terms of how often to call the RevVideoGrabIdle
command?
Thanks for any comments.
