Hello, your setup seems efficient. By allocating 4-6 cores to Handbrake while leaving others idle, you’re balancing performance and resource usage. It’s a smart approach since your CPU has 8 cores and the compression can be time-consuming. Using "set affinity" likely helps other programs run better alongside it. This method is beneficial when you want smoother multitasking without overloading the processor.

The setting you choose will disappear when you run the program. This function is usually more suited for development or testing purposes.
