I have a new Win7-64 system (AMD Phenom II X6, Asrock 890GM Pro3 motherboard with integrated ATI Radeon HD 4290 graphics). I have installed the latest 10.12 ATI drivers and the Avivo add-on. I purchased and have experimented with Ultra 64 Build 2504 for several hours (did not try the earlier builds).
"Enable Hardware Decode" in Preferences/HArdware Acceleration seems to work based on AMD Overdrive monitoring of GPU activity.
"Enable AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing" has an interesting behavior. When I start up a new session of PD9 with acceleration already enabled, I do not get any acceleration. A sample MPEG2 file production takes ~2 minutes. If I then go to preferences and disable APP, then the same sample file production takes 21 seconds! The opposite is also true - when I start PDR9 and APP is disabled, the production takes 2 min, then I enable and it takes 21 seconds. You can imagine how confused I got at first...
Also, my GPU hardware supports decode/encode/transcode (and I have Stream and Avivo loaded). But all HW Encode options in PD9 are grayed out no matter what I do. This is very frustrating since this is one of the reasons I upgraded.
Anyone have similar experience or insights on these?
Thanks in advance!!
