So here is my question (after all of that background): I only think that<br>
I need to reduce CPU use by about 10%, but I am not sure which settings<br>
are the best to change in order to get that. Disabling 4MV or HQ<br>
encoding saves a lot, but the picture isn't very good. Tweaking the max<br>
and min quality makes some difference, but I'm not sure which to change.<br>
What is the best thing for me to change?<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Have you tried mpeg2 with the software encoder? That should be considerably easier to encode. Otherwise the easiest sure way is to cut the resolution - 480x576 should give you the reduction in requirements you need, see if that's still acceptable quality-wise.<br>
