processor usage
Hello -- This is a general question -- when I run handbrake, for the most part it runs close to 100% of the processer -- Is there a way to limit that? Thanks
Re: processor usage
Why would you want to? Running at 100% is not a problem.
HandBrake already runs at a lower system priority to keep the system responsive should you wish to do other tasks at the same time.

Re: processor usage
yes, I see that it runs at a lower priority, but for the most part it still consumes over 95% of the cpu --- should there be some sort of governor to limit the cpu usage to a certain percent of the cpu?

Re: processor usage
In windows you can change the cpu affinity in task manager.

Re: processor usage
good question ---
I am sure if it my computer, but I think that the cooling fan seems to get louder maybe spinning faster, so it the cpu running hotter?
would running on 1 core make a difference?

Re: processor usage
Yes, if your cpu is being used your fans will cool it down, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.
If this is too loud you could maybe install a better fan if possible.
Finally, yes, if you use less cpu your cooling should be less.
