[RESOLVED] Process.Start() => speed-- vs. Console

Hi,

I want to make the process of ffmpeg visible to a progressbar. While caring for it, I mentioned that running ffmpeg via

Code:

---

strCmdText = "-y -i \"" + path + "\"";
 strCmdText += " -async 1 -vf yadif -c:v libx264 -b:v 1024k -r 30 -bf 1 -an nul.avi";
 Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo("lib\\ffmpeg.exe", strCmdText));

---

is about 2/3 slower than running it in console (app: 130 progress fps, console: 400 progress fps).

I already tried to run the Process.Start in an extra thread.

The CPU usage is 75% while running in console, but 100% while running in the app.
RAM usage is the same.

Is there a way to fix this?

What do you mean, "visible to a progressbar"? Are you interacting with this process somehow to track its progress and display it in a progress bar? If so, then if its performance is less when doing this, it's most likely whatever you are doing to track its progress. Is this what you are doing?

I already wrote a program to parse the output to a form and this form I wanted to extend with a progress bar. As I mentioned the performance problem I thought as well the problem is the parsing-time. But I outsourced the call of ffmpeg like above. Actually for testing the form consists of a button and the code snippet in post 1 and the problem is the same for all that it's parsing nothing from ffmpeg.

Sorry, for wasting your time.

On the call in C# I just missed the Option for the first pass :(
