extremely high CPU usage on 2.13GHz MacBook Air

Robin Zhao — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 11:02:33 GMT

Hi, I just brought this brand new 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo Macbook Air with 2GB of memory(the machine is standard configuration for the new 2.13GHz MBA with all updates from Apple installed). and I installed oovoo on it with no problems at all. This MBA has NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory, and Built-in iSight camera.

When oovoo runs without video conferencing, the CPU usage is jumping between 15% and 35%, and whole system is responsive at ever.

The problem is whenever I open a video conference with anyone, the CPU usage immediately jump to 100% to 110%. When I look at activity monitor, both cores are in extremely high usage, both near 85% to 95% on the graph. The responsiveness of whole system becomes poor. The video is constantly freezing and with high pixelation, and the audio is barely understandable with lots breaking. I tried to lower the video resolution to reduce the problem, but it seems have no effect at all.

The similar problem exists on my MacBook Pro and my wife's MacBook too, just not as just bad. The CPU usage in video conferencing is about 75% to 85% with better video and audio quality and system responsiveness.

Please let me know if there is a solution for this.

Thanks a lot.

I'm having the same issue. I'm on a PC, both vista and xp and when trying to call my sister's apple she is unable to see me or hear me on the XP and only hear me on the vista. But I can talk to other PC users.

These features are currently not available in the ooVoo MAC version. We’re working on a new version that will offer Web Video Calls and Video Chat Rooms for MAC users. Keep your eye out for a new release coming soon…

Hi.

I have the very same question as Vic (just downloaded and redownloaded the latest version, checked firewall and still not getting video calls to work after reredownloading as per your suggestion). Is there anything else that can be tried other that, as I have seen several users having the same issue?

Best regards,

I have the same issue with oovoo (latest version, firewall checked, other video apps working without problem etc). Ideas?

Also, what is a "specific service issue" as opposed to a "technical question"? Isn't oovoo like, the service we are talking about? Isn't a specific service issue, also a technical question? You got all too technical with me on this one for me to follow. But this is the right forum for tech questions about oovoo?
