Problem with DirectX 11 init

nadav · ‎07-23-2013

Hi,
I'm trying to use Intel Media SDK with DirectX 11 surfaces without success.
when i run the following code:
mfxStatus sts = MFX_ERR_NONE;
mfxIMPL impl = MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE_ANY;
    mfxVersion ver = {0, 1};
    MFXVideoSession mfxSession;
    sts = mfxSession.Init(impl, &ver);
MSDK_CHECK_RESULT(sts, MFX_ERR_NONE, sts);
    // Query selected implementation and version
    sts = mfxSession.QueryIMPL(&impl);
    MSDK_CHECK_RESULT(sts, MFX_ERR_NONE, sts);
    sts = mfxSession.QueryVersion(&ver);
    MSDK_CHECK_RESULT(sts, MFX_ERR_NONE, sts);
    printf("Implementation: %s , Version: %d.%d\n", impl==MFX_IMPL_SOFTWARE?"SOFTWARE":"HARDWARE", ver.Major, ver.Minor);
// the result:
//sts = MFX_ERR_NONE(0)
//printf: Implementation: HARDWARE , Version: 1.3

- but when i change mfxIMPL to (use directx11 surfaces):
mfxIMPL impl = MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE_ANY | MFX_IMPL_VIA_D3D11
// the result is:
//sts = MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED(-3)

is there any other way to use DirectX 11 surfaces ?
thanks,

I recently asked a similar question. Intel MSDK "Direct3D 11" is really 11.1, so you need to be on Windows 8 for this to work.

Yes, this is actually called out in the System Requirements section of mediasdk_release_notes.pdf document ("For Microsoft DirectX* 11 functionality - Microsoft Windows 8."), but we understand that this can be move visible. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the info. i've tried with DirectX 9 and it worked. the documentation is indeed not clear enough...
