Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer avail.
I'm trying to give QuickSync a go on my machine, and I'm having no joy at all.
I've tried the 3257 and 3165 drivers, and with both the Activity Log shows that QuickSync is not supported. I know some people had to resort to the 3071 drivers to get it to work, but these are no longer available on the Intel website for download (4th Gen 4600, W8 x64) so I'm a bit stuffed!
Any suggestions on how to get QuickSync operational?
Cheers.

Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
Is the Intel HD graphics card enabled in the Bios and have a monitor connected to it? If the card isn't enabled or not active, then the QS hardware can't be used.
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
3165 sometimes had issues - I don't know that 3257 does, as far as declaring the correct API version. Most likely another issue, as s55 pointed out.
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
Ah, s55 may have hit it on the head there. Yes, it is enabled in the BIOS, and detected in Windows, but no I don't have a monitor connected to it. Is that really required?
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
If there's no monitor connected the hardware won't be active.
There isn't really a good simple solution for this.
- There is the Lucid lucidlogix software (not free) that allows you to use both at the same time, or set apps to use either discrete or integrated gpus.
- I think Nvidia has some advanced options control panel (maybe via a 3rd party tool) that allows the qs hardware to be active while the discrete card is.
- There are ways to trick windows into thinking a monitor is connected when it isn't but this isn't recommended.

Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
Did you find a solution? I have the same problem.
I am just wondering since MediaEspresso is able to use QuickSync even no monitor is attached to the Intel GPU.

Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
feel free to share your logs
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
It doesn't seem to. What it does when I tested it was use GPU acceleration, not QuickSync acceleration. It only used the latter when I actually connected a second monitor to the iGPU.I am just wondering since MediaEspresso is able to use QuickSync even no monitor is attached to the Intel GPU.
Had a quick gander in their forums and it seems others have seen the same.
Bare in mind, if you have something like lucidlogix, you have to configure it manually and correctly to work with HandBrake. MediaExpresso has a profile built in, HandBrake does not.

Windows 8 has native headless support for Quicksync but it requires app support, it must work in d3d11. If you need 3071 I can upload it. Via Inspector for Nvidia GPUs QS is working even without a connected monitor. Two issues existing. No Lookahead and VC1 support.
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
Seems like you have everything running or know at least how to get things work. Yes, I would appreciate if you could upload the necessary software somewhere.
I did download Nvidia inspector but I am clueless about the important options and its configuration.

3071 is available on downloadcenter. Inspector answer is here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=28331

Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
That download is only for 3rd gen, not Haswell .
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
The driver is for Haswell, they just removed Haswell device id's in the inf. Sometimes Intel is really pathetic. You could edit the inf but Windows 8 doesn't like it. Looks like I have to upload it. The driver won't help if you don't have a monitor attached though unless you are doing something special or are using a Quicksync app with native headless support for Windows 8.
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
driver version can be used latest one available from the download pages of Intel's web site,
3071 is referred as recommended and minimum version.
I believe, there is a rule: share your logs together with issue report.

Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
Thanks for that. Still going to get stuffed by the lack of headless support though . Is this something planned for future versions of Handbrake, or is it a limitation that will always remain?
Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
HandBrake is supporting QSV as much as it is possible by MSDK API, driver and OS
(beside some acceleration types of video formats and additional filters)

Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
What's confusing me though Maxim is that MediaEspresso can do it, and it was stated above that native headless apps can use this. So is it possible for the future, or is it never planned?

Fully working QuickSync without connecting a monitor (or even a dummy) to the HD4600.

Re: Quicksync - Requires old drivers, which are no longer av
Yup, thats the one I was referring to above. Not something I recommend.
I think I see what that guy did to "fix" it in software but it seems to be a bit of a hack.

What are the downsides of the approach? Don't want to miss somethinb by being obtuse, lol.

I've tried it, works very good. Lookahead as well. Here is the same with a better presentation http://www.bandicam.com/support/tips/intel-quick-sync/
