TMPGEnc - option - task priority?

[2busy2broke]

When I open TMPGEnc, in the top of the window is the option menu, in that menu is the option task priority, with levels of high priority, normal priority, idle time only (both for "when active" and "when not active&quot. What Im looking for is the best quality possible in my vcds. If I change this option around, will I get better quality or is this just asking how slow I want to make my computer while performing that task? If I use high priority will it just go faster using more of my computer, or does this lessen the quality?

The task priority has nothing to do with quality. It is simply a task priority. If you need to work with your PC while it is encoding, set it to "normal" or "idle". Set it to "high" and every software besides TMPG will work slow as hell.

i'm not sure about this..but i think that higher task priority you set tmpgenc to, the more CPU it utilizes=>prolly a little bit faster encode

I've had problems with TMPGenc encoding multiple files in batch when set to "high". The first one will be fine, the computer will hang encoding the second file. It works only if I lower the priority to "normal". If I'm not doing anything (and, with Win98, if its in the foreground), it seems like it takes about the same amount of time, anyway.
