How enable GPU decoding?

[Montana]

I am using VLC 1.1.0 media player. The reading program of videos favorite everyone VLC, Passed today version 1.1.0 today. The bottle opener multifunction video added decoding GPU for Windows users and Linux, to allow your CPU a break when you play these huge HD files you have downloaded. Only drawback : the Windows version works only with GPUs nVidia . And Mac users will have to wait for decoding GPU .Can anybody know that how enable GPU decoding? Please reply.

The advantage of this solution is that it can continue to apply any filter VLC accelerated video , and redirect the output of your choice ( display via any rendering tool , transcoding , video editor VLC ... ) . The disadvantage is that this solution seems less effective in terms of performance, especially with GPUs from AMD. According to information we can gather , this problem had been encountered by the teams of Adobe during the development Flash 10.1, which also operates the GPU for decoding HD video encoded in H.264 .

The step of retrieving data within the GPU is more complex than NVIDIA and demand the establishment of a specific solution. For now the teams VLC have decided to through the function MOVNTDQA introduced in SSE 4.1, to make things better , which is not optimal. In effect , this limits the functioning of the application to Processors compatible. We of course linked the developers of VLC with teams AMD which appear to have indicated a more viable solution for data recovery within VLC.

To do this , the core video has been rewritten and now supports hardware decoding of video. High definition is honored as the H.264 and VC -1, standard formats of Blu - ray, and the Honourable MPEG -2, are concerned. The subtitle of Blu - ray, in the absence of their menus , are also now posted . Support MKV HD format of choice for backup copies of Blu - ray , was also improved.

The support is unfortunately not complete, as noted by the project team open source. Windows, " VideoLAN is rather sad to have to recommend GPUs NVIDIA , until ATI not fixes their drivers and the developers from accessing the Intel components . Mac OS X is for the time simply did not concern while Windows XP is not planned. VLC 1.1 introduces also a new environment of extensions, "very simple ", as found in browsers modern , which should allow enrich easily the reader multimedia news features. Among other hundreds of new features and minor fixes , VLC Media Player 1.1 finally brings support for the format WebM Google, multichannel audio formats in 7.1 , improves management of metadata and album art and improves the plugins internet browsers .

GPU -Z will display many information about your graphics card. The software indicates then the name of the GPU, its frequency, its revision, its fine engraving , the number of ROPs , the number of shaders , or support DirectX. It takes advantage of the output recent HD5870 and HD5850 ATI to be compatible with. Similarly , TechPowerUp ! also take this opportunity to detect some new hardware and fix various bugs.This new version brings in addition a system Extensions similar to browsers to allow any developer to include its own features , but also support new codecs and video formats / audio ( VP8 , DVB HD Atrac1 , AMR , WMA Voice.
