I have the lastest update for PD7, and the latest NVIDIA drivers, and have enable it in PD7s preferences, but when i want to produce an mpeg2 file (I shoot AVCHD video, edit it, then finally produce a mpeg2 file), the CUDA option is disabled?? see screenshot.

I just want to confirm this really, but should(can) PD7 use CUDA optimization when producing an mpeg2 file?

I see on the Cyberlink PD7 webpage that it has charts showing performance gains processing effects in mpeg2 files, so my assumption would be that it would also use CUDA for encoding. I should also point out that i can enable CUDA when producing and mpeg4 file, just not for mpeg2 files.

Thanks

Russ.

As I understand it from what I read on the Cyberlink web page is that CUDA works for file encoding of H.264 (MPEG4) format not MPEG2. Its grayed out on my system as well, but works for MPEG4. Q9300 2.5 GHz
4 GB Ram
Nvidia 9800 GT

I have a Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHZ 4 GB Ram. CUDA option is grayed out telling me I don't have enough to give me the option. Is this referring to my graphics card?

The box for "Enable GPU hardware encoder" is greyed out on mine too. I have a Core2 Quad @ 2.83 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and a GTX 280 video card. I am downloading the latest Nvidia drivers (181.22) right now. I will post upon completion of installation.
