[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1234170, member: 38864"] I just tried an x264-encoded video on my iMac, first in Quicktime in its m4v container, then in VLC in an mkv container, and the cpu load was identical, running under 8% typically, spiking around 12% rarely. So something is off with either your videos or your software. Do you have the latest version of VLC? Are you SURE that the video encoding is x264 rather than VC-1? You may want to try MPlayer X as an alternative (free on the Mac App Store), or Lunettes, an ongoing effort to modernize and optimize VLC for OS X. [/QUOTE]
