Hello,
I put together a simple looping menu background for a short DVD that I made recently, and while watching (after burning) the menu loop on a 2GHz laptop (using PowerDVD), I've noticed CPU usage oscillating between 20-80%. Actually, if I breath playback will stutter. When I drop in a commercial DVD, my CPU usage is around 50% without even a hint of stutter. Why do you suppose DVDs I make are so CPU hungry? I'm using default settings. Are there better ones? Interestingly, I'm doing everything in 5.1, but dropping to stereo makes it worse. Any thoughts?
