Light Video Player

[Labhras]

Hi all,

I've noticed when playing files with VLC that the CPU usage is about 40%, and it's listed under using significant energy.
Is this normal for VLC or is there a problem? In the case it's the average CPU usage, is there a video player consuming less, for when I'm on battery alone and I don't want to drain my batter?

Thank you all
