<DIV><SPAN class=580415317-03092002><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT
size=2>To clarify the below, our problem seems to be a CPU utilization
one. With only a few windows open, or even just one with substantial
motion in the video stream, the CPU time required by OM Vic skyrockets<SPAN
class=959405717-03092002> to 100%</SPAN>, effectively disabling the
machine. In contrast, the v2.8nlsde-2.1.3-1114v<SPAN
class=959405717-03092002> version of vic utilizes the CPU much more
efficiently. Any suggestions on how to improve this would be
appreciated. I should note that the settings we are using are h261
compression at 29fps and quality of 1, in case that affects things.

<DIV><SPAN class=993010912-03092002><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have been doing
a lot of work lately with the various versions of the PIG - vic.exe on Windows
2000/XP. We have found that when opening more then 4 windows the only
version that seems capable of performing exceptionally well is the
v2.8nlsde-2.1.3.-1114 version of vic. If we use the Open Mash
or the vic.exe (DD or without) off the AG site - the
applications run but seem to hang or skip on a computer when opening more then
4 windows at once. Has anyone experienced this? If so, do you have
a work around? We are using the NVIDIA Quadro4 Video cards with 128MB of
Video Memory.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
