[svn7407 x64] HB Decoding - QuickSync or ?

Post by jacop89 »

Hi!

I recently installed the first snapshot of the program (svn7407 64 bit) on my laptop with Windows 10 (formatting clean).

I noticed in the "video" settings, is set by default option "QuickSync Decoding".
By ticking the option and then disabling the QuickSync Deconding , videos are decoded by Libav Codecs right?

Thanks for the information!

yes, if quicksync decoding is disabled, libav software decoding will be used instead

One is hardware-accelerated (QSV), one is highly efficient but software-based (libavcodec). Our QSV decoder can only decode H.264 sources for now, and is only enabled when QSV is also used for encoding. In all other scenarios, libavcodec is used.
