If you mean you give the ripping/encoding processes the maximum priority then no wonder the system drags noticeably. Try a nice level of +15 or some such, this will push their priority below that of other running programs, and thus improve general system responsiveness. Take a bit longer to do the ripping/encoding, unfortunately... -- Carlos Sousa http://vbc.dyndns.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
