Is this normal CPU utilization?

[Damascus]

I'm using Picvideo and VirtualDub w/ RRG (sadly its replacement was out of stock at the store ) and capturing at quality 15, 4/2/2, 320x240 30fps, it's eating up 90% of my CPU and it's an Athlon 1.2Ghz! It doesn't seem normal to me... OS is Win2K Pro. Help this anti-Matrox zealot out!

Well if no one knows, could somebody post numbers that I can compare against?

Damascus,

I don't know the answer but I'll give you what mine does using the same settings. It's between 50% and 60% during TV recording, system specs below. Just notice this is a WinTV not an RRG (but if you want to get rid of yours just send it to me ), and VDub 1.7

my own experience with virtualdub and my g400TV under w2k is that it sucks huge amounts of CPU time. I think it must have something to do with how virtualdub handles RGB / YUV translation. I now use AVI_IO quite sucessfully.
