PS4 faster in decoding external sub than in MKV

Hi,

I just moved to a PS4 slim from a PS3. Using the Media Player I noticed that the transcode of an MKV with internal subtitles is saturating my PC resources, whereas if I use Live Subtitles or I download external subtitles and put them in the same directory the CPU usage is lower.

My PC is a dual core e8400 3ghz overclocked to 3.6Ghz, 4gb of ram , Win 10.

The MKV file has a 1080p AVC video stream, encoded at 5 142 kb/s.

The internal subtitle file is a plain TXT file

Default decoder is FFPMEG; saturation of resources happen with FFMPEG, MENCODER and VLC.

Any suggestion? Is that a bug in UMS?

Thanks!
