Hi@all,

problem at the moment:
PD10 is rendering MPEG2 PAL DVDs with bottom field first instead of top field first if hardwareacceleration/-rendering is used, this is causing the known stuttering videoimage. If rendering without using the graphicscard is done, all is fine.
This problem i had some time before, its something in combination of the graphics card driver and PD10.

So is there somebody out there who can tell me the last AMD Catalyst driver version, which doesnt generate the problem?
My software versions at the moment:

W7 64bit & PD10 latest patchlevels, graca driver AMD catalyst 12.10.

Thanks for response.

The sure way is to not use Hardware acceleration.

Hi Carl 312,

Then again the reason I bought PD is because it was supposed to be faster with hardware acceleration!

Switched to PD10 now, just before PD11 was announced! Loser forever!

In practice it does not seem to be true on all systems.

I do not use Hardware Acceleration on my computer, simply because HA produces artifacts in the video.
If it were not for the artifacts, I would gain a bit of speed using HA.
The difference in time to produce is not that great.

The only acceleration that does well it SVRT. That works.

Somewhere on one to the forums is a comparsion on one system. It was some time ago, I do not know if the search function can find it.

EDIT:
I found this one:

Thank you Carl.

I was looking into the forum for an answer to the question: why does it take 4.5 hours to encode in H264 1920x1080 29.97 ips with Nvidia Cuda switched on.
Then, by reading all I could on the subject, the only certitude I have is that I got a big headache and no real answer!
I have tried to switch SVRT but all the suggestions are in red and refuse to "apply". So what's next, or what did I do wrong?

Thanks anyway.

The time it takes is very dependant on the power of your computer and and length of the video.
The longer the video the longer it takes.

SVRT only works on like file formats.
View > SVRT Information. Select the format that is the closest to your video on the timeline.
You can try several combinations. Just update SVRT information.

My camera shoots H.264 1920x1080i, if I select that format in the SRVT information, I get a Green line meaning that no rendering is needed.

When that is true, the production of the videos is very fast. If you select use SVRT in the produce module.
