This codec is system intensive. I have a slower system, an Athlon 700mhz 640mb ram ati aiw card and I normally capture with virtualdub. I tried to use this codec but my system was not fast enough. The cpu ran at 100% and I had hundreds of dropped frames per minute. In comparison I can capture with picvideo mjpeg at 19 quality at the rate of 30% cpu usage and maybe 10 dropped frames per hour. I know this is not a fair comparison in that the mjpeg is lossy, but with the high dropped frames I cannot get usable quality. Maybe it works better on the newer faster systems, but definetly not on mine. |
