So I’ve been playing around with VLC for video playback. Typically, I like to use the inbuilt windows 10 player (Movies & TV) because it uses the least amount of system resources. However, I recently downloaded a MKV video that wouldn’t play and went to the old standby of VLC. I was surprised that the desktop version used 32% of CPU resources on a Ezbook 3 Pro (n3450 cpu). I decided to give the VLC winRT listed on the Windows Store and discovered it’s use on the same file dropped to a mere 11%.
On a file that would play in Movies & TV, the uses was 5.0% on Movies & TV, 5.8% in VLC WinRT and 24% on VLC Desktop.
Does anyone else see this type of discrepancy? I’m curious if anyone has bee able to get VLC Desktop to drop to a similar usage.
