~80% CPU usage, Pentium M 1.6Ghz, VLC 0.8.6a

Looks good!

I'm not sure exactly how you're measuring the CPU utilization. In WIndows Task Mangler, under Performance? If so, I peaked at about 80% when first starting, but it settled down to 36-44% (fluctuates back and forth) on my Dell 2.6 box.

I just checked the process on the 'Processes' page. The display on 'Performance' takes other processes running in your system into account, so it might skew the results.

ahh... in that case, the fluctuation was between 28 and 44% with most reading around 33.

You can get it even lower by disabling H.264 inloop deblocking (you might notice minor blocking artifacts then) or try using ffdShow.

Edit: Time for some more info. X.264 implements H.264 the new generation of encoders standard. DivX and XviD (way better than DivX and my favorite until X.264 came out -> XviD Binary) etc are based on the older H.263 standard.

More about H.264

All : I've posted another update at http://hosted.filefront.com/LawsonVideos entitled "Training Video Intro". It's also going on Google Video as "Microsoft Allegiance Training Video Intro"; direct URL is pending.

This time, it's a intro to what is in the works for a prototype public training video. I should have a rough draft posted soon, perhaps less than Two Weeks.

Edit: this is in DivX format. You might need to obtain the DivX codec, or install the VideoLAN player from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (100% free, open source, lightweight "plays it all" player.

I am steadily amazed by these videos. Can't wait til their on google video!

You don't realize how much tactical information you're processing until you see it in a video... *flashbacks to noobhood* *wimpers*

Could have a commander film a video of what he buys/selects/looks at/says throughout the game and tell the viewer what the commander's thinking when he does it.

Now THAT would be great! I'd gladly edit and narrate, if some (much better than me) commander wouldn't mind doing the writeup and/or capture.

Contact Shiz, he is in the middle of rewritting the ACS program and would probably jump all other this.
