http://forums.fedoraforum.org – This post should be relevant to those who run fedora on G45 4500MHD chip computers & especially for laptops because software video decoding makes awful battery life. I am trying to make g45-h264 branch of the libva and intel-driver and haven't found prebuilt packages for fedora - the ones on atrpms are without the patches. Does anyone know of a fedora repo which has intel-driver for GM45 4500MHD chip? So I have compiled the libva, libva-intel-driver, mplayer, gnome-mplayer from source and now have hardware accelerated X264 through mplayer & gnome-mplayer. There are problems, thoug (HowTos)

Stories similar to libva g45-h264 branch & hardware acceleration in fedora 17 (lenovo x200, x200 tablet)

Hello,

since I read for the first about the magic VAAPI that allow the brand new intel CPU/GPU to do accelerated video decoding I was always wondering if my own system was able to do it.

As Intel is the main provider of CPUs it seemed to me that it should be included by default...

On my desktop, HD Videos sometimes lags (horizontal lines) when the camera moves too fast in the video. Searching on google said something about enabling hardware acceleration.I checked the pdf here specs & it has something written about HD video playback.So, I checked if I had libva package installed. It was installed but libva-driver-intel was not installed.

I try to make videos smooth playing on a Lenovo E325 laptop equipped with AMD E-450 APU. This processor have Ati HD-6320 GPU integrated.

I installed ATI proprietary driver (Catalyst 12.04) as described here. Everything went fine and got no errors. However I can not play smooth HD videos.

You can make MPlayer play h264-encoded video files a lot faster on multicore machines if you graft some libraries from the ffmpeg-mt project into the resulting mplayer binary. We need to recompile for this. First, use Subversion to download the code for MPlayer: svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer

I have a Asus U32U-RX128V laptop, it is great.

Hi there,

I have Mythbuntu 12.04 working fine except for enabling the Intel HD graphics GPU. While tuning OTA channels both processors almost max out.

Hi all,

After installing Kubuntu 12.04 & bunch of additional packages to my i5-2500T HTPC (with integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000) my system became totally unusable slow. After boot the system was OK for a while, but then at some point KDE become very slow.

NVidia HW acceleration 50 weeks 4 days ago

Hi everyone,i just saw something anoying, i wanted to view a full hd recording with VLC, and noticed that HW acceleration is not working, so I googled up archlinux tutorials ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA section "Enabling Pure Video HD (VDPAU/VAAPI)" ), installed what was needed, now vainfo returns this:libva: VA-API version 0.32.0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI"

Has anyone made RPM's of them? I've seen these, but they are compiled with vaapi which my intel chipset doesn't support and some other stuff that I don't need.
