High CPU for ffmpeg
Anyone know why ffmpeg sometimes uses a lot of CPU like 80%? I have the settings specified to not do any transcoding. I'm assuming it should just be streaming my video files as is. Is there any way to lower the CPU usage? I'm on a older core 2 dual windows *cough* vista *cough* machine and my client is either an xbox one or a samsung smart tv. I'm using BubbleUPnP to start the playing. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have several renderers and configured for no transcoding, and CPU is less than 2% usually (no ffmpeg nor mencoder runs when UMS is simple serving the file)
-- UMS serving PS3, WDTV, Samsung H6400 + J5500 and Kalemsoft renderers! (no video transcoding but remuxing accepted
