Re: QuickTime 7 Player Performance



One obvious difference: QuickTime Player computes and draws multi- band audio meters in the lower right corner. Computing spectral bands ain't free.

Hi,

I noticed that QuickTime Player takes a bit more CPU vs. other apps (such as an embedded movie within TextEdit). To test, I downloaded a 480P HD trailer from the Apple website and played it in QuickTime Player. Within the player, the CPU usage was about 60% on my 1.25 Ghz Powerbook. Playing the same movie within TextEdit gave me around 50% CPU usage.

Any thoughts on why the player takes up more CPU than TextEdit?

S.r.
