9.5 Performance Options

On the Performance tab, you can define settings that affect the encoding performance. Ne-

ro Recode needs a lot of computer power for a relatively short time, so an adjusted perfor-

mance is useful. Generally, Nero Recode sets the performance settings as balanced as pos-

sible. However, you can change the settings manually.

The options on the Performance tab refer directly to the Windows Task Manager.

You set the priority and the processor affinity here and the settings will be used by

Windows Task Manager for every sessions during which Nero Recode is running.

Therefore, we recommend to only change the performance options if you have

experienced knowledge in this area. The CPU priority and processer affinity is

affected by many settings and by other computer programs and an unbalanced

setting may lead to process problems!

The following options are available in the Priority area:

er. The entries here refer to the respective entries offered by Win-

If your PC has at least dualcore processors, you can choose to distribute the computer pow-

er onto the single CPU cores. The following options are available in the area Processors:

Checkbox

All Processors

Distributes the compute power to all processors of your computer.

Checkbox

CPU 0 / 1 / 2 / …

Distributes the compute power to the chosen CPU or chosen CPUs.

We recommend to allocate Nero Recode exclusively to one CPU (for

example CPU 1) while all other programs are accessed by another
