Cannot enable TrueVelocity 5

Hi,

When I am to produce my project, the "Fast Video Rendering Technology" along with the "SVRT" and the "Hardware Video Encoder" buttons are greyed out. Trying to produce my project without those options takes forever.

I have two AMD Radeon 6950HD with Catalyst 15.7.1 for Windows 7 64-bit. I've read in the PowerDirector support that I need to have the "AMD Media Codec Package" (a.k.a Avivo) installed, but AMD does not seem to develop that software package anymore. This makes me confused, since I thought TrueVelocity 5 was a fairly new invention that is supposed to work on modern systems?

Please enlighten me!

The only way to get hardware encoding on your video card is to use an earlier driver. See this link for more details: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/46414.page#240654 .

Let us know if this help.

Seriously? Do all owners of AMD graphics cards have to revert to outdated driver to enable hardware encoding?

No. The latest high end AMD cards are said to work.

Why is that?? The drivers are the same. The "AMD Media Codec Package" is not included in drivers for other graphics cards either.

I have installed Catalyst 14.12, as suggested in the post you linked to. Harware encoding is now enabled, but SVRT is not.

SVRT is enabled based on the media type, in and out need to be identical.

Also, your video card is old (2010), is not CL's fault that AMD decide to move it to "legacy" products. It doesn't have the hardware video encoder that it needs to be "automatically" supported in the latest drivers.

Nvidia cards are in the same situation - older "Fermi generation" cards (2010) are supported only with older drivers because they don't have the hardware video encoder.

1. SVRT is triggered when the input matches the output format, as SoNic67 stated.

2. Your AMD card will work fine with the last update for it for most videos with .264 formats. .265 format may not be possible. It is now a legacy product. The wonders of high tech going low tech. Win 10, i7
