Hardware Acceleration

Thu Aug 11, 2011 10:20 pm

Before when i was starting splashpro i was getting a message that confirmed that hardware acceleration was on, i checked the box that says "do not show this message again" and now obviously i can't see that message again. I would like to make that message return again, so that i can confirm that hardware acceleration is working, how do i do it?
Thnx in advance...

Why you want see this info box?
Check SplashPRO_UserManual.pdf (located where you installed splash pro) - page 10.
But if you want this box (for me it's stupid) go to:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Mirillis and delete config2.ini

Strange, it doesn't show any icons when i'm using it. Also it only says "video acceleration is available" whether i turn it on or off, it does not say "video acceleration is on"

Please turn on HW acceleration and play a file. Make a screenshot of whole Splash window in default size (press 0) and please post it here or send to support@mirillis.com. We will check it.

Sorry it was my fault, i didn't know that hardware acceleration worked only on some video container formats, like MKV.

Hardware acceleration support depends only on video codec (you can check list here) and GPU capabilities. Video container has nothing to do with it...
E.g. some old intel cards can decode only MPEG-2 video but newer ones can decode AVC (H.264).

You can check GPU capabilities on wikipedia: nvidia, ati or intel.

Enabling the Hardware Acceleration option in the Video
tab, it appears gray so I can´t enable it.

My system is:

- WINDOWS XP SP3
- NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500 GT (driver version: 285.58)
- 2 GB RAM
- INTEL CORE 2 DUO CPU , E6850 @ 3.00 GHz
- DirectX 9.0c

Can you give me a hint? I searched the forum and the FAQ but I didn't
find an answer.

It seems there is some problem with new graphics drivers.
We are still investigating this and have no solution yet.
