Very Slow Export Job in DOM ver 2.12.4

Post by rahmani »

It seems something happened in this version regarding the export job, after upgrading from 2.11.31 to 2.12.4.
Anyone has experienced this speed degradation! I have tested it with previous DCPs which I had good fps export in 2.11.31, about 9 fps but now with ver 2.12.4, I got 3 fps with the same DCP.

It's true, it seems something went wrong with the multithreading. With mp4, 2.11.17 occupies all logical cores of my 4coreHT notebook to 100%, while 2.12.4 and 2.13.16 only load three to four cores to max 50-60%. ProRes is a little bit better.

Multithreading is still okay in 2.11.78...and 2.12.2...and 2.12.3 - so, it seems it left us from 2.12.3 to 2.12.4

Now, in 2.12.4, for mp4/h.264, I only see three to four threads/cores being used, while with ProRes, I see all eight logical cores being used, but only with low loads each. I understand this is FFMPEG and can't easily be tuned for best performance with every codec. But for mp4/h.264, it definitely used to be twice as fast between 2.11.17 and 2.12.3

I'll put it up on Mantis...
