after searching the board I was not able to find a solution nor a similar error. If there is a relevant post I'm happy for any hint, if not I would be glad if you could help me anyway.
I am working with the following equipment:
- Panasonic HDC-SD9EG AVCHD cam; 1080i files at ~16M/sec with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound
- Intel core i5, 4GB RAM
- nvidia GTS450 cuda enabled graphics card, latest driver 260.89
- X-Fi Music
- Windows 7 pro 64bit on c:\ raid-0
- Corel Video Studio X3 + Service Pack 1
I added several 1080i DD5.1 files, in between of them added fade to black transitions, no effects.
I want to create a) a single AVCHD file and b) a DVD compatible version. As I just bought the cuda enabled graphics card my plan was to enjoy hardware accelerated encoding/ working with VS X3. Unfortunately it is more annoying than enjoying:
If I enable hardware acceleration for encoding and want to export to "same as first file" profile (-> a) AVCHD), VS X3 always crashes after 1% file generation. When I disable hardware acceleration for encoding VSX3 generates the file successfully.
When I export to DVD profile ( b) ) exporting works both with and without hardware acceleration, but the rendering time is nearly the same (16min rendering for ~16min film, adding Auto level filter results in even longer rendering). I would expect a significant boost for encoding - otherwise I could have kept my old graphics card
.One more thing: turning off smart rendering does not help.
So is anybody able to work successfully with AVCHD and Cuda/ hardware acceleration enabled for encoding? With GTS 450/ any nvidia graphics card based on the Fermi architecture?
Thanks for your help,
toaster
PS: I just wonder how it can be so difficult to implement GPU support properly, as meanwhile it is there for some time and should deliver significant improvements in (at least) encoding time (would be my expectation)...
