[QUOTE="CAMERA MAN, post: 995848, member: 21040"] Its funny because lately my mbp has been using up a lot of ram even after apps have been closed, like 3 of my 6 gbs of ram. Its been weird, i have been going into the activity monitor and manually quiting things compressor transcoding. I was compressing something late last night and wanted to finish it but it was taking to long so i stopped it, and the cpu went from 99% back down to around 10% so i know it did stop but i could bet compressor transcoding was still on in the activity monitor but didnt think anything of it that night. All off my media is all on a external G-RAID 2tb but this video that was compressed for viewing was on my internal drive because it was small and i was attempting to compress it smaller for my phone, so that is a possibility but the original file was only 500mbs. As for now i wiped my drive and restored the drive but i didnt back everything up like the librarys so the pro apps i have to install all over again but its probably best i do it anyway even though i just did for SL. Thanks for that also Collin Bl, i dont use superduper but i can bet something like that happened. Hidden files somewhere, it may of just had thousands of little mb files as well too that i didn't pick up because of my rushing, i wish i could have saved that report to go over it now. Thanks for your input. [/QUOTE]
