PowerDirector (previous versions) » Poor video quality AVCHD render w/ Hardware ATI HD5670 » Go to message
Upgraded to ATI HD5670 & current drivers - to reduce render times.
The good news: I was able to reduce my render times by a considerable amount!
The bad news: The rendered files now have a noticeable loss of quality!
Original files: Sony AVCHD 1920x1080i 17Mbps
Rendered file: AVCHD 1920x1080i 17Mbps
Rendered with SVRT3 the rendered video output quality looks like the original.
Rendered with Hardware Video Encoder the rendered video quality looks compressed and shows micro blocking during fast movement.
It appears the ATI stream GPU does not do as good of a job with video encoding as the CPU does.
While it's true that the render times are shorter with hardware video encoding, the finished files have a noticeable loss of quality. This makes hardware rendering with PD8 useless to me.
Anyone having better results or any ideas why this is happening?
