am I missing something here?

1110288 2010-06-15 04:48:00 Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought, cheers CS. :) KarameaDave (15222)
1110289 2010-06-15 04:53:00 Grabbed the latest 1.1.0 RC1, no additional tweaking needed and things ran much better. A 1080p "sample" I had would run at an average of 40 -> 60% CPU utilization on the older 1.0.5 release, whereas with the new 1.1.0 it wouldn't go over 40%.

Is this offloading everything to the GPU? Wouldn't have a freaking clue at this stage, but it certainly decodes the h.264 video a truckload better :D

1110290 2010-06-15 04:56:00 Nice, I'll have to check it out at some stage! KarameaDave (15222)
1110291 2010-06-15 05:53:00 A side note, VLC are developing their own video editor.
Should be good.

thanks for the link. finally i decent, light weight, feature rich video editing software that can replace the slow, buggy, little to no features movie maker 2.1

VLMC is what i have been looking for to replace movie maker. it's perfect. i can't wait for it to at least be in Beta

1110292 2010-06-15 09:49:00 Movie-maker is a long way from being ready for beta yet. (It has got to have a gastric bypass plus excommunication to get the ugly fat out.) R2x1 (4628)

1110294 2010-06-15 10:33:00 Movie Maker isnt too bad in Win7. At least transferring from DV cam works, and it lets me edit vids / and it uses a timeline Speedy Gonzales (78)
1110295 2010-06-15 10:53:00 At least it's not prone to constant crashing as the XP / Vista one was :D Chilling_Silence (9)
