Hello.
I have a question: Why is the button Hardware video encoder grayed out?
I remember using it in the past, but now it just doesn't work.
I'm trying to render a MPEG-4, but any file format I would choose, it's greyed out.
On MPEG-4 SVRT works, but I want to use HVD.
I'm using Windows 7, latest NVIDIA Driver (344.75), and both options for Hardware acceleration (in preferences) are checked. What should I do?

Thanks.

Cyberlink notes...
For users of NVIDIA cards who have updated to the current graphics driver, the video hardware acceleration feature in PowerDirector is no longer available.

The driver in the link above should reinstate the feature.

"Fast rendering" is available only for MPEG-4 and h264/mkv (under 2D tab).

Yes, but it just doesn't appear. I downloaded the files provided in that post (3 or 4 dlls) and copied them to system32, restarted the pc and it is greyed out...

HDV is never accelerated.
