Normal vs Safe Mode

[VCDHunter]

I did some encodes recently in "safe mode". This seemed to take quite a while longer than in normal mode - anyone know why ?

for the $2,000+ you paid for the encoder I would ask cinemacraft. or "backgrade" to v2.50.

if your using windows 95,98 or me in safe mode windows uses 16-bit disk drivers and no DMA not sure about xp though

he may not be talking about his OS...BTW he's running Win2k (place your mouse pointer on his [or your's, mine, etc] computer details button) .

I am talking about the OS . . but am using TMPGenc not CC.

[Browney_wigan]

yes sorry i forgot about the computer details

im not sure about safe mode in 2K/XP but it wont use 16-bit drivers because its a compleatly 32-bit os unlike 98/ME

but dma may still be disabled

Windows safe mode only loads the bare minimums to get the OS up and running so you can fix any problems that occurred during a normal bootup.

I'd make sure that your machine boots up clean and run in normal mode when doing CPU intensive tasks like capturing and encoding.

why are you in safe mode if normal is working pardon my ignorance regarding CCE.

Getting too many BSOD in normal mode when encoding. Its probably time for a clean install of 2k, but I am sooooo lazy when it comes to doing stuff on the PC that aint fun
