I found something out today that seems to add weight to a hunch I had about CC 2015's playback problems being related to the SATA controller/driver. Since discovering the Lumetri scopes disabling, I was testing it on my old quadcore and found that I could get almost fluid playback of XAVC 4K on...

It's under the advanced preferences...Input CODECs.. Video Codecs... FFmpeg.. on the right under Decoding, between Hardware decoding and Advanced option is Threads. That was set to 1 on my machine. You can set it to any number up to the number of threads your system can handle. Hardware...

I made an interesting discovery about VLC Media Player today while digging into the advanced menus. I found a setting for number of threads. It was defaulted to 1. I changed it to 30 and now it can play 4K XAVC effortlessly. Even XAVC-L at 59.94 fps 3840x2160. 3% CPU usage, but smooth playback...

VLC is only using one core, but Premiere seems to be using at least half of the cores. But a single core on this system should be faster than a single core of the ancient Core2Quad. The E5 2xxx series executes 16 FLOPs per clock cycle, much more than the Core2Quad.

I read mixed experiences with Premiere Pro. Some are getting good performance (mainly Macbook Pro users) while Windows users seem to have a lot of complaints about lag, freezes, video audio synch issues. I'm running two versions of Premiere and both run poorly on this new hardware. Both ran...

I thought so briefly, but then I remembered that this same software played with no lag and no frame drops on my old Core2Quad, at least as far as HD video is concerned. As for UHD Prores (3840x2160), there is zero improvement over the old system in terms of smoothness of playback and number of...

I've just upgraded my workstation from my 8 year old Core2Quad with 8GB and GTX680 to a new dual CPU with the following hardware and I am having more dropped frames on playback than my old machine: Supermicro X10DRi server motherboard EVGA 1000W Gold Power Supply EVGA Titan X (12GB DDR5) Dual...
