Hello, i tried encoding a video with handbrake on Manjaro, and while Handbrake used 100% CPU power, and also encoded faster, it only uses around 75% on Manjaro. Are there some settings for this behavour that i’m missing?
Sure.
start reading here about nice and cpu frequency scaling.
Still I would never advice to give a program the full amount of cpu ‘power’
Sure, maybe not 100% but, i could very comfortably use my pc with windows and a load of 99% so i would want to at least get to that level again. Thank you very much for your fast answer
Maybe the display of the workload is more accurate in linux? Just a thought…
Even if that is the case. You always can give a progress more or less resources with nice/renice. this with or without changing the cpu freq scaler.
If it is advisable is another thing.
Yeah, definitly a thought, but since handbrake also reports, that it renders with a lower framerate (180 vs 145), there is definitly a perfomance loss, that roughly scales to the missing percentage, there’s nonetheless room for improvement
I’m not here to things smart, just fast
That’s the beauty of the freedom of choice we have with Linux.
With FFmpeg or VapourSynth+FFmpeg I always get 100% highload.
