    Has anyone had ANY success with a laptop and the H.264 Pro? I have a new dual core with recommended ram and OS and the laptop drops frames. I am trying it on my Hexacore workstation and it is STILL using 27-35% CPU power….I must say this is perplexing. Again, any suggestions would be helpful before I return the H.264…thanks is advance!

    Regards

    Hello Scott,

    I am running it on a HP Compaq 6710b (KE121ET),
    see https://www.laptopshop.nl/product/52826/hp-compaq-6710b-ke121et.html#product_specifications, it is in Dutch but the specs are international,
    this one is with a dual core, Vista 32 bits,
    strangely no preview, but the recordings are OK, only @ 1080p50 still gives missing frames,

    with kind regards,

    Jack

    Hello Scott,

    do you run it with the last software version?
    Media express 3 has a much lower CPU-usage than the 2.3 version

    with kind regards,

    Jack
