Hello Dennis. I've followed a thread on CPU usage but my circumstances are slightly different.

While transcoding a video, at times the CPU usage hits 100 % and the video playback stalls. Is this normal? When it hits 100%, ffmeg.exe is at 65% which appears to be normal, but then MezzmoMediaServer goes from 3 to 5% up to 27 to 30% and stays that way for anywhere between 3 to 15 seconds, thus maxing out the CPU near %100 and consequently playback stops. Again, would this be normal or is there a tweak I can apply? Once the transcoded video is complete, and saved to disk, the video plays normal so I might presume this to be normal while generating the file.

Thanks in advance.
