XRECODE

Same issue.

Please try with the latest beta version - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=40

Yes, works without the slowdown and unresponsiveness.

Although I noticed that when I select lame.exe, CPU load only gets to ~70%, while with .dll it's at 100.

That's good Thing is that with such number of encoding threads, disk speed start to play a major role, including the buffer sizes for reading/writing to the disk. When using lame.dll, I can control both of them, while for .exe I can only control the input buffer size. In the latest update I changed the size of the input buffer to 64K and that helped a lot. What type of SSD drive you have?

Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB, but I store music mainly on an external USB drive (and do the converting there too). It's the same whether I convert on the USB 3.0 HDD or the SSD, though.

OK, I see. When converting to USB, files are converted to a temp folder and then copied after that to the USB, so that it's faster. There's a setting for that under Misc (Use temp folder ...). Anyway, the reason for not using the 100% of the CPU is the disk. I need to get the 16 cores PC myself in order to properly test it

Hey there. I'm having this issue again for some reason. Deactivated the progress bar, but still utilization is never going over 10%. Same with both .dll and .exe. Not even converting on a USB device, just on a regular hard drive.

I updated to the latest version and core load was 100% for a short while, but then it drops again.

Should I email you the diagnostics?

What type of hard drive (SSD, regular?) are you converting from/to, i.e. is it the same drive?

From/to the same drive, HDD.

And what type of files are you converting and to which format?
