Started some topics about video freezing problems.
I tested a lott of laptops but when I unmarked on the vide tab " enable hardware acceleration", then no video at all has freezing problems after loading.
But when you unmark it, then the video effects don't work.
Is there a workaround ??????
If so, then everybody can unmark "enable hardware acceleration" and still use the video effects.
Then we don't have the freezing problems anymore !!!

Hardware Accelaration means the graphics card's processor(s) do all the maths for 3D calculations.
If it is unticked then the computer's processor(s) will do the work (if the software faciilitates)

Thanks for your answer Digimixer.
This means that when the computer will do the work, there is no freezing problem.
But why if the computer does the work my video effects doesn't work anymore?
Unmarked gives no videotransistion problems but everything with 3D doesn't start and gives an 3D error.
If there's a workaround: :--)

Hi
I'm not sure, i've never unticked the hardware acceleration, so not sure how it should behave if you do.
I can try and test on my system tomorrow and let you know what results i get.
Also, you may want to send a private message to CanspoilU, going by this thread it looks as if he may have bought exactly the same notebook as you!

@Digimixer,
Fisrt I wanna thank you for all your advise and help.
Next thing is that I really want to know your test results.
At least I wondered that you saw that Canspoilu has the same laptop.
Already send him an email.

Canspoilu bought an other laptop.

I'll wait for your test results

You said:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If that's true why can't I play 3d effects anymore?
Other question:
Did you tested if you could play videoeffects for example CUBE, without hardware acceleration enabled ?

Actually hardware acceleration means the CPU process the video and FORCES it to overlay the video, sort of effectively "burning a hole" through the current screen frame to reveal the next frame. On todays computers with proper video cards and direct x and other handling of the video hardware acceleration should be TURNED off or it actually slow down the video and can produce unexpected results.

Thanks for the answer dj-e-lectric,
I don't understand: video hardware acceleration should be TURNED off or it actually slow down the video and can produce unexpected results.
Why does everybody mark hardware acceleration within virtualdj , you are saying that you it's better that it's turned off.
If I turn it off, the videoeffects don't work anymore

dj-e-lectric may be correct in a sense.
However, in most cases hardware acceleration should increase performace, hence the use of the term 'acceleration'
But in enabling hardware accelaration, alot of the work load is shifted from your Computer's CPU over to your Video Card, its chipset and the driver for your video card. Sometime, outdated or buggy drivers will result in poorer performance and/or strange behaviour. In these cases it disirable to disable Hardware accelaration, hence the option is available.
I'm not sure about Vista, but certainly in XP there is the option to adjust the amount of hardware accelaration (via Display Properties > Advanced > Troubleshoot)
I'll check the settings on My Vista machine as soon as i get the chance, will also try disabling accelaration to see what results i get and llet you know (On my work machine at the moment which is XP and no VDJ)

Thanks Digimixer.
As far as I can see you can't put the slider to the left within Vista.
You can't do it because you don't get that option.
Gonna wait for your test results
