You'll have to upload them to dropbox or some other service like that.Do you want me to send the PM?Sure. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I'm limited by a 10GB internet data cap. I didn't realise the samples were so small. If I'd realised, I would have already tested them. Sorry about that. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" />My hardware is pretty old. A first gen Core 2 e6600 2.4 GHz, 975X chipset, 4GB RAM and AMD 6450 GPU.Using Cyberlink PDVD 12 and MP 1.7.1 my results were:tears = Mostly between 20 and 30% CPU. Peak of around 80% CPU at the start for a short time. No frames dropped.tractor = From 40 to 80% CPU. The start is higher (60+%) than the end (~40%). No frames dropped.bunny = >95% CPU. The MP renderer stats [shift + 1] are telling me that no frames were dropped, but the video looks a bit jerky so I don't believe it.Using LAV 0.64 and MP 1.7.1 my results were:tears = Quite stable at ~55% CPU. No frames dropped.tractor = Between 85 and 90% CPU.bunny = 100% CPU. Frames dropped.In general the CPU usage with LAV is higher and more stable/consistent.According to AMD's catalyst control center, my GPU is more active (~50%) when MP is on screen than when the videos are playing. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite18" alt=":LOL:" title="Laugh    :LOL:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":LOL:" />Note I can't test with other versions of MP due to work on TVE 3.5. I don't expect it would make any difference.[edit: I should also say that these tests were run on Windows XP. XP only has DXVA v1 support; v2 is not supported. LAV doesn't support DXVA v1, so I set hardware acceleration to "none". PDVD does support DXVA v1.]</blockquote>
