Hi everyone, I know the title is a bit weird but, it concerns CCE Basic when i am using it in combo with RB. My Questions are:
First, whenever I use RB/CCE Basic (2.69.01.04) I change the priority under "Windows Task Manager" from "Normal" to "High". But, when CCE starts another .avs file, the priority setting goes back down to "Normal".
Is there a way to make CCE stay on "High" priorty during the entire encoding process? If so, how?

Also, I was wondering if changing the priorty from "Normal" to "High" really does make the encoding go any faster, as it seems to.

You could try setting Rebuilder to high priority, so that each child process inherits that.

As far as making it complete faster is concerned, that depends on what other processes are running. If you're doing a bunch of other stuff, then the higher priority should make it run faster. If there's no competition for the machine cycles, then I'd think it wouldn't make much difference.

You might want to look at what else is running, and see if there's anything that you can kill while the rebuild is going on.

ok, I do go and kill everything in Windows but, knowing Windows, it will more then likely restart everything I try to end :(

Thanks for the tip, I will try putting RB in High Priority and see what happens.
