Approaches for dynamically allocating CPU cycle resources to a video encoder. A resource allocator assesses an amount of available CPU cycle resources on the hardware device on which it executes. The resource allocator determines that a change in the amount of available CPU cycle resources has occurred. The resource allocator, adjusts, in real-time, which particular cycle profile, in a plurality of cycle profiles, is assigned to at least one of a plurality of video modules. The plurality of cycle profiles each allocate, to video modules, a particular amount CPU cycle resources for processing digital video. The plurality of cycle profiles also each specify a set of configuration settings and are arranged in a sequence based upon the video quality and density achievable by video modules using configuration settings associated with each cycle profile when processing digital video.
