Hello,
I've been doing a fair bit of video encoding lately (mostly HD 1080p/720p) with Handbrake, and I know it's normal for the CPU Usage to be at 100% while it's doing this, but I was curious if this is bad for the computer in the long run? I mean, I know it would be fine if I only do it every now and then, but lately I've been doing it quite a lot, and I probably will be doing some more over the next few months, so i thought that perhaps it could maybe have a negative effect on the PC if I do it too much. Is this true?
I don't usually do anything else while I'm encoding, I usually let it encode overnight.
I would say that my computer is quite good, it's certainly not a cheap, average computer, but I'm just always trying to do what's best for the computer so that's why I am asking.
Thank you!
