What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. simply run/open the program
2.
3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WebCamStudio for GNU/Linux 0.57 beta 2 (Build:140)
Please provide any additional information below.
the previous version from the repositories never had this issue and obviously once the program reaches 100% it effects streaming by making the framerate very choppy, rather than a smooth 30fps
my hardware performance isnt even close to being effected while runing this program, none of my quad core processors are even past the 25% mark while running WCS and i have 4 gigs of RAM which idles around 500mb even with WCS running.
so this is clearly a bug
another note, not sure why, but WCS doesnt even show up in my list of processes running, i see Java which i know is used for WCS but even that process is only using about 25%
im thinking the fact there are 2 mini "preview" windows on the WCS control panel which cant be disabled is possibly causing unnecessary usage, even though as i stated the program jumps to 100% even without actually running any streams

I am currently hunting this bug on my laptop. It happens when I play a movie and the output is at 640x480...
I've just finished modifying the code to help this issue.
Could you provide me with a Studio generating this issue?

what do you mean by Studio generating the issue?
i posted the version of your program that im using
as stated, without even trying to broadcast anything it will gradually rise up in usage till it reaches 100% after a while it may drop down and start fluctuating around %80-100 but once i do try to broadcast it stays at 100%
the normal broadcasting i use with the program is "Desktop" view with the 160x120 output, 30fps, high quality
or a DV cam with the same output settings

By Studio, I wanted to know what kind of source you were using.
As for processes, you won't find WebcamStudio but java since this is a java application...
Are you capturing the whole Desktop? Also, I found out that using a desktop with compiz enabled, seems to trigger that weird issue where the CPU will get to 100%...
I'm still trying to figure out why Xorg and Compiz are creating this. But running in a classic desktop does not trigger the problem.
I've been also working on the output where the version you currently use is not actually outputing at 30fps... I still have some tests to do, but things are looking good.
Could you validate if you can trigger the issue in a classic gnome desktop without compiz enable?

i never use compiz as my visual effects is set to none and i dont see it in my processes until i switch it to "Extra" then i switch back and it closes so thats not an issue.
i dont capture the entire desktop, the capture size is normally no larger than 320x240
what version of browser and flash are you using/testing, do you have an older recommended version? i dont mind installing an older version if it will fix things

This is strange, I am able to run WS smoothly on a laptop dual core with 2Gigs or ram...
You said that compiz cannot be started on your setup? What kind of video card do you have?

WebcamStudio 0.60 Alpha 1 seems to fix this issue
it shows a maximum of 776mb of memory at the bottom and rendering live desktop capture only uses around 50mb and i get a steady 30fps
only issue i have now, is theres a slight delay when looking at the preview built-in to your app, which translate into any flash cam site, even tho it says 30 +/- 1 fps almost steady
do you think this could be, because im using OpenJDK and not ORACLE java? is there any known difference in performance?
