My processor utilization is high when playing a Blu-ray Disc movie. Is this normal?
Processor utilization is affected and can vary depending on a number of factors including the computer’s configuration and the Blu-ray disc content being played. For example, older Intel® graphics controllers which support software decode of Blu-ray disc content will have high processor utilization since the decode is handled by the processor. Sometimes, older unoptimized software may cause unusually high processor utilization. It is important to ensure that an optimized media player version is being used along with the most recent graphics drivers and system BIOS.
