HandBrake

Posted: **Fri Feb 08, 2019 5:25 pm**

Hi,

I have a VM running handbrake and can't connect to it e.g. via VNC ore TeamViewer because handbrake uses 100% CPU (permanent load of 11 @8cores).
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
It would be nice to set the transcoding tasks to a lower priority to get the OS responding.

Kind regards, Tolotos

And since HandBrake tends to be heavy with I/O;

Code: Select all

ionice -c 3 HANDBRAKE_TASK

I routinely nice and ionice my scripts that use HandBrakeCLI. (Yes, both nice & ionice can be used together.)
