I've been using PD for about 4 years now, and have wondered about this all along so thought I'd finally ask. My current version is 10/1424c. I'm using hardware acceleration with an NVIDIA card. It works great and I love how fast it will render an MPEG4 or DVD.

Why doesn't YouTube render and upload use a file format that exploits hardware acceleration? YouTube choice creates WMV files, which look great on YouTube, but don't exploit the hardware (a bragging issue for PD). I can render it to MP4, then manually upload it to YouTube, but I have to stick around and do more steps. The YouTube feature of PD works great on autopilot -- start it and come back later after YouTube has published it. However I'd like it to exploit hardware. acceleration to make the overall time even less.

Must be a good reason. Thanks in advance.

Hi PDuser -

Yonks ago, in PD8, one member (OnTheWeb) revealed that PD uses hardware acceleration for some WMV9 profiles... but only with an ATI GPU.

Here's the thread http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/11010.page

I suspect that little has changed.

Cheers - Tony

I have posted the following suggestion to Cyberlink...

•Ticket ID: CS001142989
•Related Product: PowerDirector
Subject: Hardware Accelerated YouTube Rendering
2012/05/04 16:17

Please consider allowing the YouTube render + upload function to render the uploadable file in an MP4 format so that hardware acceleration is deployed for rendering.

This will reduce the time to produce YouTube videos over the current WMV "intermediate" file format.

THANKS!

My little ATI does not get any hardware help on WMV.
The response from Cyberlink for more YT render/upload choices is encouraging, that may be a first. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
Tape capture using 6 VCR, TBC-1000, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.

CL has implemented some of my other suggestions, so there's hope. It would help if Daffydd would throw his support behind it. I actually thought of suggesting this several years ago, but got distracted creating my own MP4 YouTube profiles and uploaded seperately. In the meantime several releases of PD have come and gone, so I guess this really never occured to the CL development team. Not being "users", I guess something that makes life easier wouldn't. Although it is in line with CL's "fasted video editor" promotion. Perhaps we'll see it in PD 11.
