Topic: Choppy video on BRAND NEW laptop [SOLVED]

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

Ok, so here's what my scenario was:

::The Problem::
Brand spanking new Samsung RF711-S02
i7 930
4 gb ddr3 ram
1gb DEDICATED (sorta) gt540m nvidia card (With something called 'optimus')

Brand new 7.05 VDJ install,
fresh updated windows,
fresh drivers,

load ANY video, and it was so choppy, it was unusable. Went into the vdj reg tool, said I had 58 MB of video ram (wtf?)

::The Solution::

As it turns out, this new "Optimus" technology from nvidia is supposed to save battery life (and it does VERY well) by having 2 video cards (in theory). 1 being the dedicated card (which only turns on when 3d rendering is required) and the standard shared memory mode. When I went to go put my video out to the extended desktop, it would ONLY give me the option for "Intel Shared Memory" or whatever. Here's how you fix this.

1)Right click on your desktop
2)Goto the nvidia control center.
3)Find where it says manage 3d settings
4)Select a program to customize
5)Select the preferred graphic prcessor for this program: "High-performance NVIDIA Processor"
6)pecify settings for this program: Power Management Mode: "Prefer Maximum Performance"

Restarted vdj, and VOILA !!

Select hardware acceleration and nvidia card as your output. Plays the videos ABSOLUTELY perfect!!!

Hope this helps!!

Thanks.. I talked to technical support and noone could figure why the videos lagged.. Thanks
 
Thank you so much! I just bought a new i7 w/ GeForce GT 555M and first play with video really freaked me out. Totally unusable with Nvidia's settings. First Google search and, BAMMMM! Problem solved! Thank you so much for this easy fix!
 
You are now my hero. I have been trying to get this sorted for ages

Thanks
 
Spoke to soon.

Everything works great in the window but if i try and active the second screen from the drop down i get an Error in video driver so any ideas

I'm been looking on all the links and this has been going on over a year. WHY hasn't it been fixed the the Virtual VJ Team. I've just spent £1,000 on a laptop that can't be used with VJ........

Not very happy
 
What laptop is it?

You need to make sure you have updated the BIOS and video drivers, and in some cases you need to override Optimus too. This all depends on the laptops implementation.

For what it's worth my laptop has Optimus and it worked right out of the box with VDJ - no tweaks needed at all.
 
He has a Samsung RF711-S02
 
Hmmm, I got a new Dell with Optimus coming in a few days. Guess I start praying huh?
 
I just bought a brand new HP Envy DV7-7250us. The only video driver I am seeing in the Intel HD 4000. I updated the driver and monkeyed with the settings with no luck. Does anyone have any input on this card?
 
It's a budget on-chip graphics solution and not really any use for playing videos in VDJ (although you may get it to work with a bit of tweaking)

Scott's link was awesome.
I had spent the night in my recliner following all the threads in our forum, making tweaks, trying everything everyone had tried. His page led me to what I believe was my fix. One registry tweak. And I did it manually without the tool.
"In this set VideoMemMaxUse to 16 and then click apply, close the tool and retest. Some systems have benefited from enabling VideoYV12Bug in the Registry Tool as well, so try this too after testing the first setting."
The "VideoYV12Bug" ENABLE seting fixed me. (I had changed the VideomemMaxUse to 128 previously based on another thread and set Safe Mode in the Settings/Performance tab.
I realize I have a cheap onboard graphics card and won't make that mistake on my next laptop, but I bought this as a backup a couple years ago and just started using it when my main, old laptop died, so I need to get some use out of this.

I thank all those who contribute their thoughts and fixes to this forum.
