All,
I have a third-party application (VLC video decoder from
http://www.videolan.org) that I start using
Java, specifically using the following Java code:
I hold onto the process object so that I can close VLC later on.
When I start VLC using my Java application as shown above, the VLC application consumes 50% of the CPU before even doing anything; it's not even decoding video yet! (note: VLC the application is consuming 50% of the CPU, not my Java application; this per the Windows task manager). If I start VLC just by itself it doesn't consume anything more than 1% of the CPU.
Any reason why this would be so? It's causing a real problem when I actually start decoding video because VLC then consumes nearly 100% of the CPU.
Thanks,
Dave
