Yes. Direct to disc saves the video in the exact quality that the camera sent out originally. The only downside is that any video processing done by Blue Iris won't be in the raw recordings. This includes timestamps, weather overlays, picture overlays, area of interest region cropping (rarely used), video rotation (usually done by the camera instead), etc. Some of these things can be added afterward when you export a clip. Some can't. Most people only care about the timestamp, but fortunately cameras are perfectly capable of embedding their own timestamp so you're covered.bp, is it recommended to use direct to disk in all situations for better quality? I haven't turned it on because of the warning about limitations on viewing clips that are being recorded (don't remember the exact text).
I have i7 8700 processor. Tonight cpu load was 13% but at morning it was 27%.That is probably normal. I don't know where they get the first 3 sets of numbers from but the last one seems to be what really matters, and is consistent.
Yes I've already done that too.Simply updating the driver won't help. You need older Media SDK files, which you can get from this wiki page: Memory Leak: Quick Sync (Hardware Acceleration) | IP Cam Talk
That frame rate reading is what Blue Iris reports via its web server and via the status window. It can be lower than the camera is actually sending out if the system is overwhelmed and unable to keep up. The slowdown is often at the network layer when people are using wifi or have a bad cable run or something, but it can just as easily be caused by some other bottleneck in the system. Under normal conditions those FPS readings would be within 1 FPS of where you set it in the camera.yep...that's my next step (on the i9). Don't really know about the under 10 FPS thing??? They are all set to 10 so it doesn't make sense.
FYI...just updated one more set of data for my old (well...last year) i7-6950X build. That one is now comfortably sitting at 35% CPU with limit decode turn off! Now I can use UI3 and not worry about burning up my machine! Pretty stoked about that!
Yeah, it is. This just reinforces my belief that there is some other bottleneck in the system that we don't fully understand.Super interesting how the change affected the i7-8700K so heavily!
Good deal! Hey, how did you get the GPU columns into task manager?I'm impressed by my new setup.
Intel Core i7 8700
Corsair DDR 4 16G (8Gx2)

Currently I run 8 cameras, continuous recording, bitrate 4096, Direct-to-disc recording, hardware acceleration, 15 FPS. Also implemented some more tips from here except limit decoding.
CPU load average 10%-13%
I plan to add another 7-8 cameras. I think I'll have to add one or two more purple hard drives.
