@labrute974 can you provide some details as to what your recording setup is (whole window, app, etc.) as well as any configuration details of the devices you're using for video and audio? Any details on how to replicate?

I do not see a spike in resources when running on an Apple M4 Max OS 15

Thanks for the response @bradenkeith

Here is a screenshot just before starting recording:

And here's the recorded video with Activity Monitor opened: https://youtu.be/BPboezlJcEo

That started when I upgraded to the latest (0.3.67).
I'm using the Mac Microphone, and the Mac built-in camera, and doing full screen record.

All I'm doing is starting the recording. Note that I tried to delete all the cap.so Support files as well, and it hasn't made a difference.

Recording performance on macOS has been substantially reworked since this was reported. This specific CPU usage issue is believed resolved, please re-test on the latest version and open a fresh issue with logs if CPU usage is still excessive.
