Operational priority for multiple queue items

Post by Bains999 »

Description of problem or question:
Possibly dumb operational question. If many items are in the Handbrake Queue does the program process them one at a time or try and split up resources across all jobs that are in queue?



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Some operations seem incredibly slow



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.3.3



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 Pro



HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR -  provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.
If you are unable to do so, please state why so we can help you.

Put differently are multiple encode operations occurring simultaneously?

Handbrake will go through the queue in the order the tasks are listed. You can move them within the queue using the queue manager.

The latest nightly build on Windows can run multiple jobs at the same time, if you have enough CPU resources. If you have fewer than 12 cores, it probably isn't going to do much good.

You can enable it under preferences.
