QuickSYnc Media Encode/Decode Acceleration

Hi,
I have MSS Pro installed on my system. I would like to run VLC using the MSS video accelerator to benchmark some video apps. How do I know if VLC is using the MSS QuickSync accelerator ? If not, how do I configure VLC to use it?

Also, after installing MSS, when I tried to download the driver Intel suggested, I get the message the recommended driver is not the latest one as installed by MSS:

Comment by Robert Ioffe (Intel):

Please download and install an Intel Graphics Driver from here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/search?keyword=Intel%c2%ae+HD+Graphics+5500+for+5th+Generation+Intel%c2%ae+Core%e2%84%a2+Processors

My platform is a NUC with i5-5300U, HD Graphics 5500, running Windows 7

Secondly, does the video encode and decode share the same hardware, or use different hardware? In other words, the number of concurrent H.264 decodes I could get is dependent on concurrent H.264 encodes?

Thanks.

Hi Tibet, you better to split this topic to 2-3 to get answered all you questions: VLC, MSS driver and HW resource sharing. Keep it simple: 1 issue/question - 1 forum topic.

Thanks, Alexey
