I experience that my H264 videos only support on selected options (for example interlaced 50i) hardware encoding.
Most are not supported. I would like to know if this is codec depended or has to do with my system.

I can provide a DxDiag file, but this edit window does not support any attachment, therefore I do not know how to provide the file.

At the top of the forum, there are some notices. There is one for new users. Included is an explanation of how to provide the diagnostic file. Welcome...

Sure I have read the guide. I had just not found the Attachments button, because I did not expect it to be next to Options...

I have now attached the DXDiag File for 64 bit as a zip file.

I would suggest you update your graphics card driver to the latest version. See if there is any difference and post your findings. Mike B.

Since your video card is ATI HD 6850, I would bet it is an issue with the video drivers.
I read here on forum something similar, I think it was PlaySound that mentioned it.

That did not change anything.
Everything in resolution below HD (< 1920x1080) and HD with interlaced supports video encoding with H264, p-variants and higher resolutions do not.

Since I want to produce 1920x1080/24p I can not use video encoding.

Is this now because of the codec, the possibilites of PD13 or my graphics card?

It is definitely not the PD13. I have tested it with my nVidia Quadro card and it had hardware acceleration for p and I formats up to (and including) 1920x1080, for MPEG4, MKV or h264 output formats.
Higher resolutions are supported only in software mode, ATI, Intel or nVidia don't provide (as of now) hardware encoding higher than 1920x1080.

I could not find any search function in this forum. Can you post a link to the thread?
