Title: FLV Maxing out my CPU (Resolved)
Post by: Mr ChriZ on January 31, 2009, 07:13:56 am

Just Downloaded and watched Coldplays Life in Technicolour Video from Youtube using MC.
What a cool video!

Anyhow, the videos an HD Quality FLV.
This seemed to be maxing out my processor AMD 5000 X2.
Is there anything I can do about this, or does FLV just use really high compression in order to make it small enough?

Also the mouse disappears while it's playing, and I can't get to any of the playing controls.

I changed the settings so that it used JRiver Video Engine instead of quicktime for FLV and MP4 and it's now working much better.
