View Full Version : H264 Or Any kind of gpu acceleration?

I have this older small form factor pc that I thought I could turn into a decode box because it's 4" wide by 12" tall.

I upgraded it to 2GB DDR-400, 3.06Ghz Pentium 4, 4-port SATA x4 1TB 7200rpm laptop drives, Windows 7 Ultimate x86 with PAE enabled 8192MB page file.

The video is a GeForce 6200 256MB DDR2 AGP. Stock clocked at 350Mhz core, 533Mhz DDR2. I BIOS modded it to 440Mhz, 690Mhz DDR2 but it appears 425Mhz core, 550Mhz DDR2 is max stable at 100% load. I can watch movies at 440/690 though (Low utilization 1-9% max).

I can't get any utilization out of the GPU core for video playback. It tacks the CPU and 1080p plays back pretty smooth fairly continuous 23.97fps.

However I'm just trying to find the right driver/ player/ codec to allow the GPU to accelerate the video playback like convert the image to a 3d image?

The card does 1 Billion Pixel's per second and about 5GB/s over the DDR2.

I've been using Media Player Classic Home Cinema trying various renderers from EVR to overlay mixer and toying around with various bit settings etc.

I've also been testing KMPlayer and they both playback pretty nice. I just want to take use of the GeForce 6200 GPU and use some of the GPU core power to decode.

Most of my videos are Mpeg-4 .mp4 or .mkv or .m2ts ... Mpeg2 so I guess I'd have to re-encode them to mpeg-2 1080p?

Use DXVA_checker for find Geforce 6200 details, as far as I know NO H264 GPU decoding for Geforce 6200.

Well I converted one of my 1080p movies to MPEG-2 and sure enough it decodes flawlessy at a perfect 23.98fps no dips of any kind.

It also hits the gpu at 0% and the cpu at 30% compared to usually 100% and hitching.

So now my question is can I use UMS Universal Media Server to transcode them on my dual-xeon and shoot them over to this rig over gigabit?
