MFX_ERR_UNKNOWN returned from MFXVideoDECODE_Init under Windows 7 and D3D11

Hi,

I encountered a problem calling MFXVideoDECODE_Init with hardware acceleration under Windows 7 and D3D11 using the latest HD2000 driver and Media SDK 2013 R2. The function returns MFX_ERR_UNKNOWN apparently due to an access violation inside libmfxhw32.dll. Please see attached log files (Media SDK Trace tool - analyser.log ; Visual Studio Stack and Module trace ; Graphic Driver report).

The same code runs flawless under Windows 8 (HD4000) and Windows 7 with D3D9 (HD2000 - same platform as above).

Note that I must use D3D11 since my application is a service running in session 0, therefore it has no access to the desktop.

Another issue occurs on the same Windows 7 platform with the software library. There I get MFX_ERR_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR from Vpp. Please refer to the Software.log attached file. Everything runs fine on Windows 8 with the software library.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Joel.

Hi,

Sorry, the Intel MediaSDK only supports D3D11.1 API on Windows 8 or newer, and not the D3D11.0 API that is available on Windows 7.

See "system requirements" section of the MediaSDK release notes.
