Threadripper 1950X issues, 16 cores/32 threads

Post by Azmodes »

Is there some issue with a higher number of threads used? Whenever I transcode MP3s on my 1950X, it starts out fine, but after a couple of seconds everything slows down considerably (>20% CPU load). I've tried reducing the number of simultaneous jobs to the number of physical cores (32->16), but the problem remains. The program (XRECODE3) also becomes almost completely unresponsive during the conversion; i.e. it continues showing progress, but moving the window around is impossible, I can't move it to the foreground after minimzing, etc.

Is there some kind of bottleneck I'm unaware of?

Please try the following:
- Under MP3 Setting set it to Manual
- Then click Test button
What output do you get?

OK, does it work if you select "Use lame_enc.dll" under MP3 Settings?

Is the same problem with other output formats as well?

I've tried WMA and WAV. Pretty much the same issue (and even worse CPU usage with WAV).

Wow YES

100% loaded all the way, even with 32 threads in tandem. Thank you!

That's kinda weird, though. :P

Could you, please, try this version with the original progress window settings -http://xrecode.com/test/setup_xrecode3_ ... t_1.91.exe?
