Re: Do you recommend to use DMA in MPEG2 TS Video Streaming?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I am trying to stream MPEG2 TS data through USB to the PC for Directshow
playback, i am developing a USB Avstream driver,

understanding that DMA faster, uses less CPU time, but is quite hard to
control and debug, my question is, do the experienced ones recommend to use
DMA at all in this kind of application? or it dose not matter at all ?

In all our MPEG-2 applications, we always use DMA to transfer data to/
from device in production versions. Although it usually takes some
time to make DMA work properly, it still makes sense to use it because
of performance.
