Limit CPU

[Woden]

A friend of mine is converting some video for youtube and its making her laptop run rather hot.

Is there a way to limit its CPU usage in Windows 7?

Also can you not limit the process priority in the program?
When i use DVDFlick, i can set the process priority to High, Medium and Low.
Obviously running it on low, will limit the processor, but will also increase the converting time.
Place the lappy on a table, and point a table fan at it until its finished

I honestly don't know. She's not very tech minded with computers. Not computer illiterate but doesnt know what you dont usually have to. She really does want to learn more though.

I'll get her to look.

[edit] Its VideoWave, it comes with the Roxio cap card.

I think she is more worried than anything else.

To be honest she might be best sending it to me to do on this machine.
