im converting/ burning a dvd now.. and my cpu usage along with the progress of the conversion is not going up. is that a bad thing? does that mean the conversion is not working?
im using 'sonic MyDVD' to convert/burn

Yes, and despite what Chu Chu says above, it's unavoidable. He either doesn't understand the question or he is just lying about his system. It takes CPU cycles, and lots of 'em to work with video. A movie on DVD is generally 4.7 Gigabytes or so. Anything you do with a file that size (even just transferring it from one drive to another) is going to take a LOT of cpu cycles, and therefore increase your cpu usage. That's what the cpu does, so it isn't a bad thing unless it increases to the point where there are no resources available for other things you may want to do. If it slows your system to a crawl or bogs it down to where the keyboard doesn't respond any more, THEN you may want to spend some money on more RAM or a faster CPU, but if it only slows it down a little, that's pretty normal.

Yes, it does, and its normal...
But let me try to explain why.
imagine that your computer has a certain speed
So, based in that speed, the convertion will take a determinated time, right?
Acording to that logic, a computer with preciselly the double processing power than yours, would convert it in the half time.
my point is, the time of the convertion depends of how fast you process it... So, the fastest way to do it, is use ALL processing you can, and is what your computer was projected for, and will do...
It wold be a waste if not...
If at 100% processing it convert in 30 minutes, at 50% would take one hour...
So ya, it does go up and still well it does ^^
BUT... thats for convertion...
At the time you´re burning the DVD, the files will be ready, and all what the computer gotta do is record into the media...
If you have a good system, it will go up a little, but not even close to 100%. The process will be limited by the Drive´s recording speed, and no longer by your CPU.

yes, your cpu is doing the processing to convert the videos and burn your dvds. of course cpu usage goes up, so does amount of temp space used on your hard drive.

yes it does cause it is burning the files from your computer to a dvd-r disk and when converting videos that eats up the cpu cause it is taking files from your computer and converting that file into a new file

No, my system performance is really superb!
I think you need a new CPU, more RAMs, and better video card.
The easiest way is just buy a new computer with a dual CPU.

when using software ur . cpu usage go up . if using ur anit virus & anit spyware software ur cpu usage go up when work is done ur cpu usage will go back down.
