[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1234120, member: 38928"] I don't believe VLC uses hardware accelaration (Windows version does. Apple hardware APIs are available but it's not been added to VLC for Mac yet). That's why you're seeing higher use in that over Quicktime. Does the CPU usage matter? If it's a battery life issue I doubt there's much in it between GPU and CPU power consumption [/QUOTE]
