Batch Performance with Windows 10

[sbleam]

Just wanted to check with other users to see how the performance fairs with Batch Converter and Windows 10? Some comments and questions....

• Batch converting a small group of songs - less than 25 -- took seconds and the encoding speed maxed out at ~500x
• A larger batch conversion - 170 songs - obviously took much longer to process (about 25 mins) and never got above 55x encoding speed. In fact, finished at 33x.

During both processes the following was the same:

• No other processes running
• All were converting FLAC to ALAC
• All were redbook - no high-res - all with same settings

Does the number of files in a batch process impact of encoding?
Any other items for consideration?

Thanks!

Re: Batch Performance with Windows 10

It suggests that the writing of the files is the bottle neck, 25 files and the operating system would cache the writes to some extent.
