Transcoding to H264 drops fps to zero

Mac Pro 2013
OSX 10.5.5
Davinci 12.5.5
GPU Processing mode Open CL

Basically when I start the rendering to H264 the fps speed fluctuates between 60 to 0 constantly, making the render reaaaaally slow

Thanks a lot!

Why not render to a high quality codec to have a master file and later transcode to H.264?
Quality of some other transcoders is better anyway.

Definitely try Handbrake to transcode from a HQ codec (ProRes) exported from Resolve... Forget about doing it in one action in Resolve.

What would be a good high quality codec to render to for windows users?

DNxHD/Q is like ProRes but easily available on windows.
