ffmpeg Process Taking 85% of System CPU Capacity

[Burak Yaman]

Hello my Windows laptop shows performance issues and lagging. In Windows Task Manager, I see a process name ffmpeg taking more than 85 percentage of CPU power. What is this process? Can I end it using the Task Manager or will it trouble the laptop?

Interesting, I never saw this ffmpeg process on my Windows laptop.

Were you converting video files on your laptop? Or downloading or video streaming?

[Burak Yaman]

Yes Xavior, I was downloading a video from Internet. Suddenly system showed freezing and while checking task manager it showed the process "ffmpeg" consumes 85% of CPU resources.

That is the reason, Burak Yaman. That downloading App is converting the video format and it require high CPU usage. Nothing unusual about it.
