This files seems to be locking up my laptop when I am connecting to VPN servers. It is always the file that is not resonding.

To disable this service go to Canopus ProCoder 2 Queue Manager - Tools-Start Kernel with Windows and Stop Conversion Kernel.

Procoder background file. Causes the computer to announce that the Dongle is not present if it is not in the USB port at boot. This seems silly for a program that, can be installed on multiple machines, but only one on one machine at a time as the dongle is required for its operation". Disable it under "Job Queue Manager"

Harmless file of Canopus ProCoder. Only needed if you do a lot of batch conversions of Audio/Video. I only use it in the "Editing environment" for which i have a seperate partition/OS. On my other partion/OS I shut it down like gj stated: open "Job Queue Manager" and uncheck "Start Kernel with Windows" under "Tools" menu...
  Gman   (further information)

used by procoder 2, desactivate it unless you wish to use job queue

It's Canopus Pro Coder batch kernel. If you don't need this feature - disable it in configuration console (I see the apropriate article above).
  Kirill A. Plesch  

I am using conopus, that is correct.
   

Assuming you have installed Canopus ProCoder, this is not harmless. Its just annoying. In "C:\Program Files\Canopus\ProCoder 2\" run PNXMANGR.exe, open the Tools menu and uncheck "Start Kernel with Windows"
  ChopMonkey  

yes it is associated with Procoder 2. But we must disable auto start of this programme. I find that it is interfering with many programes.

Gehört zu Canopus, kann über den Manager ausgeschaltet werden.
  Tiki  

Server for encoding with Canopus Procoder - essential for background encoding using the "Watch directory" function, otherwise not always needed.

GJ is entirely coorect. The only drownback is it uses too much CPU. Not a problem on a fast/dedicated system. Can be disbled, ProCoder works as well but might take longer.
  Drako  

causes problems on my machine, makes machine freeze on times
   

Just an Application of Canopus ProCoder, but it causes a lot of Problems (i.e. I had a lot of Problems with that Prog.;-)
  helpy, the helpman  

ProCoder queue manager service for batch conversion. Not required to be running for standard conversions. Recommend you shut it down if you don't batch process.
  Guns1inger  

It's a canopus procoder file, not sure what for, but, besides eating the first minute of CPU at startup, it's harmless
  Lightman   (further information)

part of procoder 2. Just do what "gj" writes if it takes up 2 much cpu.
  inkyape  

procoder process
   

Slows down pc a lot, if don't need it get rid of it
  cas  

It uses way too much CPU and should be turned off if your startup times are increased or if your system freezes up during startup
  Seaniepie  

Belongs to Canopus PRocoder 2

This is a frendly file of Canopus PreCoder program
  scottbiker  

Ran atfer i installed Procoder2. Uses alot of cpu but only for a short time after booting pc

I have had many problems with it in the past. It came with the Canapus Procoder program but then started acting up. It slowed up my computer(s) by causing my hard drive to run at full speed all the time doing nothing. When I disabled it using taskmanager it froze my computer requiring a shutdown. I then uninstalled the Canopus program and it fixed the problem. In my opinion it is either something inherentlly wrong with the program or the program is being used by some malware. Likely the latter since it works fine for a long time and then becomes a huge problem after months of use.

pnxservr.exe (which launchs pnxkernl.exe) is a file of Canopus ProCoder. They enable ProCoder to run queued batch conversions. To disable open "Job Queue Manager" and uncheck "Start Kernel with Windows" under "Tools" menu. It's not dangerous, but might use too much CPU
