Definitively you need to update driver. Latest for HD 4000 is 15.33.30.3958 (10/24/2014).

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sea...ng&ProdId=3712

You can also try to find one updated on ASUS website. Have support for dual NVIDIA/INTEL GPU.

Hi,

I tried to upgrade Windows 7 partition with latest intel driver 15.33.30.64.3958, but it didn't work ("Your system has not the minimal configuration required for this product").

So I used driver given by ASUS support (from 2012, see attach file). I was on 8.15.10.2669 and upgraded to 8.15.10.2778. Upgrade was achieved, but now, BDToAVCHD fails just after first step, when beginnig MVC encoding (whereas with previous version, encoding was performed but still led to pixelation).

Umm

- ASUS driver is too old (2012).
- Latest generic Intel driver is not supported by your system.
- Previously installed 10.38.10.3308 driver is buggy (pixelation).

Solutions:

- Use only SW mode.
- Change your system.
- Try to find other compatible driver.... laptopvideo2go.com is good site.

Another thing to consider:

There is an important difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8 for dual GPU configurations (Intel HD Graphics + NVIDIA).

In Windows 8 can use the integrated GPU (Intel) even when no monitor is connected (Intel GPU is not active).

In Windows 7 it is necessary that the Intel GPU has a connected monitor or use a trick "fake display" method.

Because now you're using Windows 7 and Windows 8 before it is possible that for this reason now do not work at all (besides of different driver).

This issue had already been discussed in this thread:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...14#post1674714

and also on BDtoAVCHD thread I remember.

Update latest Intel graphics driver manually

@sergio2
It is possible to install the latest Intel drivers.
Download the driver as .ZIP archive from Intel and extract the content.
Then start the device manager. Search for the Intel HD 4000 graphics and make a driver update from disk folder manually.

Tested on Win 7 and 8.1 with Ivy chipset and HD 4000 on ASUS Zenbook.

Intel's EXE driver installer lately includes a test that prevents updates of OEM driver releases. And OEM's don't care about their old hardware.

Good tip



In addition there are new Intel driver available:

15.33.32.4061 (1/8/2015) => https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sea...ng&ProdId=3712

When I upgrade manually with last Intel driver (it works, I check it in device manager), my ASUS notebook behaves in two ways :

1- when I reboot computer after upgrade, I get a bloody black screen and I have to reboot in safe boot to return to previous driver !
2- If I don't reboot after upgrade, previous driver is reinstalled without doing anything !

My ASUS K95VM is a really crap !

Forgive me if I missed it somewhere, but is there a more complete tutorial/explanation on how to use this tool?

I would like to convert a video using this tool so I can compare the results to others like HandBrake, MeGUI (which I currently use), etc.

For instance, I normally use CineForm as an intermediate codec for my regular editing work. Would I be able to use this tool to transcode from CineForm to x264?

I can't seem to find the codecs this tool will accept as input other than h264.

Advice?

Hi,

This is a tool for very specific task: transcode Blu-Ray 3D to BD-9/BD-25 MVC 3D. Only accepts codec h.264 because is the only codec used by Blu-Ray 3D.

This is not a general purpose encode tool like MeGUI and can not transcode to x264... (only x264 can transcode to x264 )

It doesn't matter to me, I give up the MVC encoder Intel because the quality is too bad compared to x264. This is not specific to MVCEnc, I have the same quality problem with FRIMEncoder, even choosing BD-25 output.

Edit 2 : Quality 3 = Slow

I'm investigated this and seems only occur on slow systems, when encoding speed is punctually < 1 fps. For this reason only occurs on SW encoding and quality 1 or 2. I simulated running in parallel CPU stress test software to slow down the system until encoding speed is < 1 fps.

Seems a kind of race condition due timeout and bad implementation.

This new build should fix:

MVCenc.exe

(Copy MVCenc.exe to BDtoAVCHD install folder)

I will appreciate some feedback since I have not been fully tested. Also I do not have any so slow PC that causes the fault spontaneously.

Ok thanks I'll try later just to be sure because I'll not use Intel MVC encoder (MVCenc or FRIMenc) anymore. Just for information the system I have used to test is a 2 x Xeon E5506 but without HW encoding... I was thinking it will be more faster than 2,5 fps with quality 3

Version 2.4.1 (04/02/2015)
  • Fixed error "No free frame surfaces" triggered on SW encode + target usage 1, 2 + slow system (encode speed < 1 fps).

If nico says nothing it works

I can't test now because I'm not in front of my system, I could tell you later like I've said...

Hi,

I finally managed to upgrade Intel HD graphic on my ASUS with last driver 10-18-10-4176 from 30/03/2015. I had to upgrade manually (with .inf file), and strangely (fortunatly), this driver seems to be stable !

With this new driver, I reencoded a full Blu-Ray in a 25 GB Blu-Ray with BDToAVCHD version 2-2-4 with media SDK acceleration (HW) : still this bloody irreversible pixelation after jumping fast forward .m2ts file on my Samsung TV !

Then I upgraded BDToAVCHD to last version 2-4-1 and did the same job again : no pixelation anymore ! Incredible ! (thanks to media SDK 2015 upgrade I suppose ?)



Edit : I tried several encoding from placebo (TU = 1) to medium (TU = 4) quality. The thing is I did'nt notice any differences in time encoding switching from 35 to 40 fps in all cases.
Is this normal ?

Good to know that now works fine. Thanks for comment on! (Although it was a problem only on Samsung TV. There is not a full Blu-Ray player)

Yes is normal. Fps on HW are limited by hardware/drivers. Presets or "Target Usage" has more influence for SW encode. Also in high end CPUs/GPUs is more noticeable (is not your case for "old" laptop).

Mine is core i7 4770 and again, in Quicksync mode frames per second started off with 55 and then dropped to 42-43. Still much faster than software mode.
