Is it possible to run two or more sessions at the same time

Post by eddie11013 »

I have 32 Gig's. Windows 11. All updates. No other issues.

Or will it make the CPU to stay at 100% and take for 'ever' to convert?

For movies I like to do the double pass and for TV episodes I just do the single pass conversion. Most movies are in the range of 5-10GB each, mkv's. TV episodes are usually in the 300-500MB range each. Normally on my desktop PC it takes about 40-45 minutes to convert a movie and to convert 5 or 6 TV episodes together, it usually takes less then 15 minutes.

Upon completion I normally have it set to 'burn' the result, but if I could do two or more then I would have to set it 'not' to burn, just save the result.

Thanks in advance

I have had 5 different instances of the software doing conversions at the same time in the past. The software tended to be a bit sluggish, but it was working.


However, all of these were creating to differently named folders on an HDD. If you were attempting to burn to DVD after a conversion was completed, I don't know how the software would behave if the drive was already in use with another burn.

Thanks
Just did 5 sessions at the same time. Everything worked without issue.
Wish I had thought to ask the question sooner.
Issue resolved.
Thanks again

I think there is a hardcoded limit of 5 simultaneous instances allowed by CXD. My memory is if you try to open a 6th instance of CXD, it simply never opens.
