Thats not the problem, its working fine on the 8 core machine with 1080i but on another 8 core machine with 720p it does not, also the code stores the frames in a buffer and these are read from a callback from the decklink API, no polling. I have also checked the cpu usage and none go above 1% when encoding


What is worrying me is the 0.06 fps in the status
