640x480 mjpeg --- hardware condition ???

[cygnus-x]

hey folks,

i would like to increase my system with 640x480 clips, so i can say with 400x300 mjpeg my system runs perfect

intel pentium 4 ht 3,2 ghz, 1gig kingston ram 400mhz, geforce 6600 gt 128 ram, extern sata2 drive 7200 rpm, win xp sp2

but at 640x480 the performance break down

what hardware aspect do i have to increase to better perform at 640x 480...

raptor 10.000rpm , dualcore processor...

any suggestions

thanks

2GB Ram, Faster processor and to be sure about HD speed go for eSata RAID enclosure with 2 HDD's

What i've chosen to do anyways

...esata raid enclosure was one of my idea´s, but what you mean with faster processor... singlecore or dualcore. i thought 200 or 400mhz does not make that different´s i need to expect, may i´m wrong what kind of processor do you use...
does resolume support dualcore??? i have never saw an answer to that question, and i´m for sure not the first who ask for it....

so does anybody know if resolume supports dualcore?????????

greetings

Im not sure if it does, Looking at your CPU actually i'd guess at it been fine to be honest. Im currently using a Opteron 175 clocked at FX-60 speeds (saved over £500!!!) and 2GB PC4000 DDR1. But i've sold this computer and am currently sitting on a load of money waiting for the ReAct controller come back into stock. I'm replacing my PC with a laptop so i can use it out easier, one at the moment is Dell (I know!ITS A DELL ) Precision M90 as i can pick up a top spec one for £1,600 from US instead of the £2,900 asking price in the UK. But with new Santa Rosa Chips coming out soon i aint buying right now as i can wait till the controller is back in stock and then maybe get a better laptop for same money

2GB of ram will help for sure. eSata is the fastest way i found without paying silly money for 15K SCSI HDD's

Dunno. I have one p4 laptop 3.2ghz HT with 1.5gb ram kingston and I can use 640x480 clips with no problems. What codec do you use? Did you try picvideo codec?

[cygnus-x]

...yep.. i´m using pic video mjpeg

in the quality settings i use an value of 18, may i have to decrese that, for better performance with 640x480

....i will try and reporting


for all pic video mjpeg user´s: what setting are you using; resolution, quality, etc ???

To get faster playback from the PICvideo codec you should actually compress less! The more you compress with the JPEG compression the longer it takes to decompress.

To further improve playback from the PICvideo codec you should also turn Advanaced deblocking off.

Please have a look in our manual for more tips:
