CPU/GPU Trying to enable Intel QuickSync tells me my CPU doesn't support it

[icekool]

Hi everyone,

I just got a new pc in the last few weeks with an i5 2500k cpu (Intel HD 3000 graphics). I do not have a seperate GPU as I wanted to use this so called improved integrated graphics and don't need a powerful dedicated card as I'm not a gamer.

Yesterday I tried using DVDFab for the first time in a while and when I go into settings and try to enable "Intel QuickSync" I get an instant notification that says "Your CPU doesn't support this feature".

HD3000 should most definitely support this.

My DVDFab version is 8.1.1.2
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Intel core i5 2500k
New Asus mobo H67 chipset with IGP
8gb ram

I only use DVDFab for basic DVD rips and occasional conversion from one format to another, I don't have bluray etc..

My system is, so far, 100% error free, everything is fully updated.

Is this a problem with Fab or is it an Intel driver issue??

Any replies would be very much appreciated as I would just love to be able to see if using 'sync' really is all that much faster/better.

Thank you.

Go to Intel's website and make sure you have the latest video driver;

Also, make sure it isn't disabled in the Bios.

If you wanted to use a discrete GPU you would need Lucidlogix VIRTU.

Thanks for your answer, yes there was an update/newer version of the Intel driver, did that and it is now enabled in the DVDFab settings.

It works very well indeed, very fast dvd rip when selecting a single pass fast encode.

I notice that when selecting a 2 pass high quality encode it goes back to using the slower software setting, is this right?, I ask because I figured that it would do 2 fast passes using the quick sync/gpu acceleration enabled ??

I never use 2 pass, I would have thought it would still use QuickSync.

Maybe the developer can enlighten us.
