can i force QuEnc to be in low priority all the time

[buzzby]

Hi

As title

I know there is the option in QuEnc to select low priority but is there a setting in DVDrb to force this?

I have done a search but did not find anything.

Thanks

If you set Rebuilder.exe to low priority (using Windows Task Manager - Ctrl+Alt+Del) all the applications launched by DVD Rebuilder will get the same priority value.

also QuEnc has the option -priority ,so if you ask jdobbs very nicely he may add that as an option in a later version.

I'll add that to the QuEnc settings.

[Edit]

Ok I've added an option called "Use Low Priority Setting" to the QuEnc options. It sets it to "-priority 5" -- that's the lowest.

i was overwritting the registry setting HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Quenc
dword "m_nThreadPriority" to 0x40(idle) ... but looks like priority cli setting has been there from *at least* .53 (thats the oldest version i have). dunno how i missed that. (Setting priority has been in the gui since .49 according to change log)

Yeah, I just went back and found it on every version I looked at -- so I guess I don't have to do a version check to use it.

This has been covered before about running DVD-RB in low priority but I can't find the thread, is there anyway to have an option in DVD-RB to run it in low priority in future versions as CCE seriously hogs the computer unless in low priority

I know there was a thread on how to set it using a simple.bat file, but I can't find the thread now, and I prefer to run it in low priority so I can leave my system doing other minor tasks at the same time while I'm away at work or in bed

Thanks

Place this in a .bat file in the same directory as dvd-rb.

Start /LOW rebuilder.exe

Thats great.

It never stops amazing me how quickly the developers on this forum implement changes. I only every one was as dedicated.

I will setup the bat file for now.
