First let me say that I am a heavy user of Handbrake...great tool. I also would like to upgrade from Snow Leopard to OS X Lion but it is my understanding that Handbrake (0.9.5 64 bit) is not working properly under Lion. Can anyone confirm if it is safe to upgrade and will Handbrake work properly?
Thank you in advance

Re: MAC OSX Lion Question
I'm on the regular 0.9.5 release on Lion. And I haven't had an issue yet. It does seem to sap a lot resources while it is running. The Activity Monitor says it using 170% of the CPU. So while it is running the rest of the computer is crazy slow. But I haven't had any actual crashes.

Re: MAC OSX Lion Question
I'm running HB on 10.7.2 and I have had one issue (I've posted a thread detailing it, but it hasn't appeared yet) but I found a workaround for that so no real problems.
It uses upwards of 350% on my machine and I have experienced no crashes and very little impact on the performance of other running apps. The actual percentage will vary with CPU, machine configuration and the load the system is currently under. As thompson said, that's a feature. The more processing power your computer has the more cycles Handbrake can throw at converting your file and the less time the process will take. In short, the bigger the number the better, though you may want to pause HB if you intend to run an app that will be taxing on your system (e.g.: a game or another media conversion tool).uclajames wrote:I'm on the regular 0.9.5 release on Lion.
