Is there a way to adjust the lame priority in the commandline?
I use lameb (http://www.lameb.fsnet.co.uk/ ) for encoding.
Adjusting the cpu priority of lame.exe works only during the encode process of one file.
Lameb restarts lame.exe after each file.

Lame will get the priority of the application that executes it... So if you´re running lameb in "idle" then Lame will also do so when it´s executed... That´s at least how command line applications under Win32 works... But it should be the same for a Window based application...

If your using NT, 2K, or XP:

START /REALTIME LAME.EXE --blah

If your doing a batch file, you may need either /B or /WAIT.

=)

Start is actually a cool command:

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
[parameters]

"title" ... Title to display in window title bar.
path ... Starting directory
B ... Start application without creating a new window. The
application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application
enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt
the application
I ... The new environment will be the original environment passed
to the cmd.exe and not the current environment.
MIN ... Start window minimized
MAX ... Start window maximized
SEPARATE ... Start 16-bit Windows program in separate memory space
SHARED ... Start 16-bit Windows program in shared memory space
LOW ... Start application in the IDLE priority class
NORMAL ... Start application in the NORMAL priority class
HIGH ... Start application in the HIGH priority class
REALTIME ... Start application in the REALTIME priority class
ABOVENORMAL ... Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class
BELOWNORMAL ... Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class
WAIT ... Start application and wait for it to terminate
command/program
If it is an internal cmd command or a batch file then
the command processor is run with the /K switch to cmd.exe.
This means that the window will remain after the command
has been run.

If it is not an internal cmd command or batch file then
it is a program and will run as either a windowed application
or a console application.

parameters These are the parameters passed to the command/program

thnx alot!

I'll give it a try
