[mythtv-users] Question about encoding/decoding

[Douglas Phillipson]

When switching the encoding to MPEG4 my CPU goes to 90% during capture. 
  But when playing the CPU is 2%.  I hav an AMD 2200+ CPU.  Is there 
really that much difference in CPU effort between encode and decode?  Or 
am I doing something wrong?  Is the encoder perhaps not taking advantage 
of the hardware encoding features of my AMD?
