[vlc] Re: vlc CPU overhead

[Keith Jacobs]

When I go to fullscreen from maximised window the CPU load goes from 70% to around 95%. I am streaming from DVB-s(Nova) and the image does seem to stretch to keep the same aspect ratio. This does no happen if I stream from mpeg file.

Hmm, this is quite strange as there is not really any difference between 
maximising the video or playing it fullscreen (in the last case, the window decoration is just hidden).

As for switching to fullscreen while playing, if using the menu doesn't 
work, you should try to simply double-click on the video.

Hope this helps,
