That will give a very detailed idea of which program is really the bottleneck. The output should look like that: top - 17:06:39 up 16 min, 7 users, load average: 1.48, 0.56, 0.26 Tasks: 168 total, 6 running, 162 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 64.7%us, 5.9%sy, 0.0%ni, 27.0%id, 1.1%wa, 0.1%hi, 1.2%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3796740k total, 1778040k used, 2018700k free, 67100k buffers Swap: 2103292k total, 0k used, 2103292k free, 1247128k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4692 bernhard 20 0 137m 39m 1268 S 139 1.1 1:36.18 mpeg2enc 4689 bernhard 20 0 18960 5032 604 R 75 0.1 1:03.79 yuvdenoise 4688 bernhard 20 0 33916 3536 1312 R 30 0.1 0:26.37 lav2yuv 4690 bernhard 20 0 11240 1176 628 S 19 0.0 0:16.78 yuvscaler 3752 root 20 0 119m 19m 5412 S 10 0.5 0:38.36 X .... As I mentioned in my last mail there was a patch that did speed up yuvdenoise by the factor 4. So which version of the mjpegtools do you use ? It might help a lot if you update at least yuvdenoise to the CVS version. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: shadowl...@utanet.at www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
