Anyone here savvy enough to give a laymen discussion to find out what my (or others) encoding bottleneck may be?
My personal situation is that I have a desktop replacement laptop, now 3-4 years old. Top notch then but obviously not so much now. It is still a good laptop and I have no desire to replace it but upgrades are possible.
When I do encode I typically get CPU usage around 75%. This means, to me, that something else is slowing the encoding down. Hard drive, maybe. Bus speed, memory speed, etc...? How can I find out where the bottle neck is so I can upgrade that part?
Thanks,
