Re: Loud pop at start of encoded video.

Not noticeably so in my case. A 2 hour movie is usually taking 45 minutes to an hour to encode. Never noticed what it was before setting the CPU to one.

I was having the same problem in my encodes (two Audio streams to an xbox 360 connected to a Yamaha AV-863) as well with an audible pop in the first second. Setting the CPU from Automatic to one seems to have fixed my problem.
