    Thanks for the information about different movies encoding at different speeds. I had noticed this with longer, episodic movies in particular but never made the connection with action movies and so forth. Just so I don't make people misunderstand or repeat themselves I understand that my speeds are going to be slower on a non overclocked machine. I'm still curious though about why my cpu is usually only around 75% usage with CCE running though. Is there a way to make the priority higher, like in Nero recode for example, through hidden settings in RB or tweaking other settings on my cpu?

    Have you tried the old trick of changing the speed in the Task Manager?
    Click on the processess tab, right click the process you want to change and set its priority. I dont know how stable this method is, havent personally tried it with RB but it works for other "less CPU intensive" processes.

    I'm definitely gonna give this a try. If it works out and makes any sort of difference I'll let you guys know. Thanks for the help man.

    Aw man, this really bites... Just got me a Q6600 @ 3,6Ghz thinking I'd churn a movie in just a couple of hours... Should've gotten me a E8400 @ 4,2GHz or something. I noticed with Archiving it's the same shiv, dual thread only. b@^$&*@!s

    tijgert - all is not lost, the Q6600 runs very nicely with Hank's encoder (quad threaded) (and i'm not even overclocked) -

    Hmmmm... CCE utilizes all four cores on my setup at 65% or so at around 12X speed. I haven't overclocked my Q6600 yet either... I've yet to test Hanks.

    That's not right, CCE is using 2 cores but the load is distributed over all of the cores to balance it all. The other 15% is just system load.

    Using full 4 cores means 100% usage indicated, like with Priming.

    I don't really check my load %, i often run Rebuilder (HC or CCE) alongside DVD Flick and alongside ConvertXtoDVD too, might as well make the pc work hard with all 3 programs :)

    am doing that now as it happens

    Technically, you're right, but why buy a quad if you can't multitask like "H-E-double hockey sticks." LOL

    EDIT: I'll get around to updating my sig soon...

    That will slow things down because for it to use 4 cores on a two threaded application requires a sort of oscillation between the added cores. It's not much of a balance.
