I have used it some on mp4 amd mpg2 files. Intel Quick sync only works with H.264 AVC, MP4, MPEG 2, and MKV. It will not work with the others. Intel i7 5960X overclock to 4 Ghz 16 GB of ram.

Found the problem...it was that the software needed upgrading. Once that was done everything worked.

The only exception is that I don't notice any major difference whether I turn off my hardware gpu or not. Perhaps on some utilities it may make a difference. I shall experiment. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

If you cannot see any speed improvement, Intel Quick Sync doesn't work.
Let's use GPU-Z application to see Intel GPU loading and paralelly see on the CPU loading.

I sent trouble ticket to Cyberlink because on my PC Quick Sync works when I PRODUCE clip, doesn't work when I CREATE folder.
Probably there is a bug.

Well I have it working. However it's strange the way it happened. I installed a copy of Media Espresso and when I went to run it asked for a registration number. So I collected that from my Cyberlink account and inserted all ok. I ran a couple of test with Media Espresso and it crashed ! I finally got it to work with a small file and all seemed ok.

I then ran PD11 and used my test file and lo and behold the Intel QuickSync hardware option showed up !!! I used GPU and watched the % and it rose to 72 % and was very fast...more tests to be done. However it also crashed, Tried 3 times and crashed each time. I then went into the BIOS and slowed the MAX iGPU rate to 1250 from 2000 and it now works perfectly...at least for now. I need to do some tests to determine how much faster it works. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

I have now done a test, with a 2 hour long video.

I rendered in MP4 with QuickSynch enabled and it took 6 min 04 secs.

I then rendered without QuickSync and Nvidia GPU enabled and it took 11 min 32 secs.

Quite impressive, and looking at the quality, I cannot see any differnce but I may have to do a more severe test. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

Do not waste your time. Quick Sync does better job (as far as quality is considered) than GPU

On what do you base your observation, so I might try. As I see with my experiment, there is no visible difference. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

Very simple test.

Let's make a clip, the best object for comparing is a human skin, so try to choose this kind of picture.
Next render it in 3 ways: GPU acceleration, Intel Quick Sync and without hardware acceleration (CPU).
Take a snapshot from the same frame of three productions and compare it in big magnification.
This is my method.

Great idea, I will try and do something over the next few days. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,
