How much of my computer resources does it take to play faster or slower than normal?
The Enounce Time-Scale Tailor algorithm employs patented digital signal processing techniques to speed up and slow down media streams. These algorithms are quite efficient, and typically require anywhere from 2% to 10% of your computer’s processing power to operate. (You can control the amount of computing power the Time-Scale Tailor algorithms use by changing the Playback Quality setting on the 2xAV property page.) However, many forms of media are stored and delivered to your player in an encoded format. Your player decodes this media into a form that can be played. The process of decoding media requires varying amounts of computing power. If you are trying to play an encoded media stream twice as fast as normal, your computer was to process twice as much data every second, using twice as many computations. In many cases, the computing power used by the Enounce Time-Scale Tailor algorithm to prepare a stream for playback at twice normal speed is a small fraction of the computing power
