| Small improvement idea for AnyDVD Newer versions of AnyDVD is set automatically to high-priority, I suggest to change this to abovenormal-priority. Reason: This way AnyDVD still is higher priority than normal, but I still can set programs I need to higher priority than AnyDVD when needed. Next you propably recommend me to just put mu programs I want to REALTIME-priority, but that is not recommended as it not meant to use for "daily stuff". It really kinda mixes Windows sometimes and can cause some hang issues as it really means that when REALTIME-priority program asks for CPU, CPU instantly forgets anything else an that may cause problems. Thank you |

AnyDVD is a driver, splitted into a kernel mode part (AnyDVD.sys / AnyDVD.vxd) and a user mode part (AnyDVD.exe). You *WANT* to run the user mode part at high priority. It *SHOULD* have a higher priority than your usual programs, otherwise a disc change won't be recognised by the system. As AnyDVD.exe is 99.9% idle, setting it to a high priority does not affect other programs at all.

Or maybe to invent setup for selecting yourself and remembering it?

But I originally designed it, that part of the driver runs in user mode. Having parts of the driver in user mode makes porting/debugging/... much easier. I would run AnyDVD.exe as realtime priority class, but SlySoft probably didn't dare to do this. AnyDVD is idle all the time, but if it needs your CPU, it must get it. Otherwise disc changes wouldn't be recognised. Assigning a high priority class to AnyDVD is "a good thing".

| Re: Small improvement idea for AnyDVD I did get your point @ first time :wink: Realtime isn't good idea, and good it wasn't done that way. High is good. I know that most of time AnyDVD is idle and so on what you told about that. It is just me ![]() And don't get me wrong, it is very awesome program indeed, just some feature wishing Maybe something "use registry"?
