No video on mac with hardware accelaration enabled

hi there, i just posted this thread yesterday in the flash player category, but i think it might be more correct if its posted here. we are creating a live stream with a digital rapids encoder, and getting no video on macs if the hardware accelaration is enabled. we have also on demand videos which are encoded over a main concept codec without this bug.
so now my question. is it possible to disable the hardware acceleration from within flash or does anybody have similar experiences?

Hi, I can only supply some information of the options the end user would have on Hardware Acceleration. From what I have read is that even though Adobe Flash Player has included the Mac to be able to use this, Apple may have only allowed it to function on certain Mac and iMac editions. So the end user can turn the H.A. off if it is causing issues with Videos etc. Also with the Flash Player version 10.1.82.76 the H.A. is turned ON by default, hence the option of turning it off. Now if a Mac user wants it on, or even those using other operating systems, it is also recommended to update the video and graphic drivers to the latest versions.
From your end as to what you do I have no idea since this is the Flash Player forum and just speaking for myself, I have no experience with what you do.
Perhaps the Flash Forum would be helpful or one of the Adobe Forums for the particular Adobe Program you use.
Thanks,
eidnolb

With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

Flash player hanging with hardware acceleration enabled

I'm having the following problem: The Flash player is working fine for some apparently random period of time, then it hangs when it is starting up in order to display a video. This appears to happen only when hardware acceleration is enabled. (I have not noticed any problems with hardware acceleration disabled, but I only discovered 24 hours ago that this helped.). The hang happens under all web browsers (Firefox reports that the Flash player crashed, but it is actually hung on start up, not crashed). After a hang occurs, trying to view any other Flash video also hangs, and all other programs that attempt to access the video card like Windows Media Player also hang. The only way to reset things and get video working again is to reboot the machine.
I suspect the problem is either the Flash player or the machine's graphics driver. I'm running Flash Player WIN 10,1,53,64 under Windows 7 64 on an Intel Core i5 machine with Intel GMA HD graphics, driver version 8.15.10.2025.
BTW, is there anyway to permanently disable Flash's use of hardware acceleration? (if I disable, the setting doesn't seem to want to stay)

Can't initiate video in ichat with all options enabled

In my ichat, I can't initiate video chat with anyone. Under view all video and audio statuses are enable and under video, video and audio chat options are enabled. Help?

Ummm,
Odd.
That sounds like the iChat > View Menu > Show Video and Show Audio Status are unticked (I know you said different in the Original Post).
The next obvious place is the Video Menu which can turn the Camera and Mic On and Off.
I am not sure if iChat 6 in Lion is the one where the wording changed from "Microphone Enabled" to "Audio Enabled" and similarly for the Video/Camera option.
Again you confirmed you had looked at this in the Original Post.
That leaves the actual Internet Speed your computer can see.
If you have not done recently Restart the computer.
As IMAgent starts when the computer does it is involved in assessing the speed available.
Next, before starting iChat 6, do a Speed test
This one needs Flash http://www.speedtest.net/
This one uses HTML 5 (No Flash) http://speedof.me/
You need to see speeds in excess of 128kbps for both Upload as well as download.
Also check iChat menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit Drop Down. This should not be set to lower than 200kpbs

Video Green in Win8 with Hardware Acceleration enabled

Hi, I need to be able to disable hardware acceleration in flash player in Windows 8. I managed to do this in the past, however after reinstallation this time I have been unsuccessful.
Last time, I somehow managed downgrade to a earlier version which reinstated the disable acceleration tab in the flash player settings as the IE11 overall use software setting does not apply to flash player. I can see this from the debug code on videos.
&decoding=accelerated
Where as in Chrome, this says &decoding=software
Any tips pleassssee?

Hi Jeromie,
I ended up solving this.
1. Turns out it was being caused because I am using a patch driver to allow 120hz. http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
2. Was not allowing me to disable in Win8.1 ~ however now it does. IE11 is now allowing me to run software mode which has fixed all the green video issues caused by the patcher from above.
I am not sure why before IE11 would just not take any notice of the use software mode setting. Maybe there has been an update, in the end I changed and tried so many different combinations I can't really pinpoint exactly what got it to work!!

FCP 5 unbelievably slow to compress video on Mac Pro hardware.

Hi -
I am compressing some HD video to H.264 format on a Mac Pro...
The version # is 5.04 - Not the Universal version which I just discovered needs to be crossgraded to. But that is a different topic.
I have about 22 minutes of video which seems to take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to compress to the MP4 format. The machine claims that 2.6 out of 4 processors worth of processing is going on... Perhaps this is just an artifact of the emulation of the PPC hardware/software... But - yuck.
I opened the process window for the Final Cut Pro Process and it showed a zillion faults.... And then I sampled the process and ended up with a thread listing as such...

Three-way video conference MAC with AIM

Are you able to do a three-way video conference with 2 users with AIM accounts with one who has MAC accounts?
The person with the MAC account shows up not stacked to indicate multi-video conference.
Just Wondering

Hi DB in NB,
It depends on...
Are they all using iChat 3
Do they have an Internet connection in excess of 384kbps both up and down ?
(there are some variants if the download is quicker that will allow you to have 256K up)
Do they have a Mac over a G4/1Ghz single processor
Is the one to be the Host a G4/1Gz Dual or greater ?
If they all fill this criteria and one does not show stacked icons then it needs some maintenance.
They should make sure the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab is set to 1.5Mbps
They should run the Cron scripts if they are not sure

Ichat video on mac with AIM on PC

I'm using ichat to use my webcam but every time i try to start a web cam conversation with someone who is using the PC version of AIM it doesn't work from my ichat. I'm wondering if there is a fix for this?

I'm having a similar problem. My friend has a webcam and AIM version 5.9, but when she tries to vid chat me it says my end is not compatable with video chat. I have iChat 3.1.5 (the latest version I'm pretty sure). Any ideas?

Electronic noise is emitted from my computer when manually dragging the vertical scroll bar with hardware accleration enabled, but no noise is emitted when scrolling any other way (ie hyperscroll via mouse wheel).

[Firefox 4.0]
When I use my mouse button to hold and drag the vertical scrolling bar, my computer emits a soft grainy sound. However, when I hyper scroll with my mouse wheel, there is no noise.
I do not get the quiet noise with Internet Explorer. I did not get this with previous versions of Firefox.
Turning hardware acceleration off resolved this.
I'm running Windows 7 with a dedicated graphics card (GTX 285).

so your already at 18a with no fan,s no hd, no cd,no dvd ,no mobo chipset , no mem, no sound..etc
If you exclude the motherboard, memory, etc like you did there, the amd 64 draws 7.2A @ 12V.

Blurry text with hardware acceleration enabled.

Hi, Firefox folks.
My text (and edges of tabs) were blurry in Firefox 4.0.1 (32-bit), running on Windows 7 64-bit, with a Radeon HD 6670 with latest drivers: Catalyst 11.5, May 9, 2011. (I have no text problems at all with the latest Chrome or Internet Explorer 9.)
The problem immediately disappeared when I went to Firefox's Tools menu --> Options --> Advanced tab --> General subtab, and unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available."
[I've edited out a "tip" of mine that I thought was working, but actually wasn't.]
I don't know how this will affect Firefox's speed, but at least I can properly read the text now.
I didn't have to disable Firefox 4.0.1 hardware acceleration with my old NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (which I was using on the same PC a few days ago), so this might be (at least partly) an AMD/ATI problem; I've notified them about this already.
So, either AMD/ATI needs to issue a patch, or Mozilla does, or both. Just thought you should know. Thanks for your time.

New Flash Plugin update with hardware acceleration freezes Youtube videos

Hello, two days ago i got a prompt for a new flash plugin update, saying that now it was able to use hardware acceleration on MAC too. I did the update but i noticed that with hardware acceleration enabled, any youtube video i see, safari freezes. Seems like it's loading continuously (even if the progress bar of the video is already red). But as soon as i disable hardware acceleration, all goes back as normal, no freeze. What's the problem? Using the last safari version.

HI,
There's an article here you might want to read.

High Speed Fibre based video editing stations with Fibre RAID

Hello. Thanks for checking my post. I hope I can find a solution here…
So, my situation is this. There are two video editing stations (MacPro 8 Core 2.8Ghz/24GB RAM/4x1TB HD/sATA card/2-23” Cinema) in my office. Each tower has 4TB LaCie Biggest Quadra (through sATA connection).
About 3 month ago, I started getting claims from those video editors that the file transfer speed is too slow for their work flow. Basically editors move video footages back and force between two LaCie scratch discs. They’ve tried through our office network (managed gigabit) first, but it was too slow for them. So, for an instant solution, I added sATA card on both towers. Then, I suggested them to use sATA direct connection and swap the drive as they need. However, it was almost impossible for both editors to eject/remove LaCie drive and swap out at the same time. (I didn’t think about their work flow…)
So, they've been using gigabit network to copy files back and force. They do it at the end of the day since it takes many hours. Then, all of the sudden, we started getting very busy and amount of work has got almost doubled. Copy files through network takes all night. And when editors show up early enough morning, file copy is still going. So, we just need to find the better work flow now.
Since then, I started researching online for solutions. I’ve actually visited a real video editing company and had a tour for hardware set up in San Francisco. I came up with, may be, two ways to resolve this, but I’m not sure. So, I would like your opinion.
One is to use the 4GB Fibre switch, then add a new network storage device (may be 8 bay model for $5k+), which comes with Fibre connection. This was recommended by the real video editing company, but they didn’t know much about hardware manufacture. What they had was all high end models. Anyhow, in this way, two Macs and network storage will be connected through Fibre switch. If this seems to be a good solution for my case, does anyone have suggestions on brands/manufactures of Fibre switch, and also the network storage device (RAID) with Fibre connection? I’ve talked to FireWireDirect folks in TX, but they didn’t seem to be too helpful…
Another possible solution, which is more complicated for me is to set up the new server just for the video editing macs with XSAN. After I read its description, it sure sounds like the best way for video, but…..1) its hardware requirement is high 2) Need a new server, 3) Need to buy Promise RAID? (not sure) 4) Needs Mac OS 10.5 server. So, this whole set up looks pretty challenging to me. We use 10.4 Server as our file server. So, I’ve no experience on 10.5.
Anyhow, if any of you who are in the video industry have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for your info. I called CalDigit and a person told me that they 're releasing the new product within this quarter. So, I may need to wait till it comes out... As per CalDigit, there is no sharable RAID yet.
So, I'm still curious, currently how are video editors using Network Storage Device (more than likely RAID) over the network without using SAN among several computers?
I thought it was easy to find the RAID box with Fibre connection, but I guess not.
Thank you again for your time. I appreciate it.

CS5: Bug when exporting directly from PPro with hardware MPE?

For the record, I'm using:
A GTX-480 (unsupported)
The hardware MPE-enabling hack (unsupported)
The latest version of the nVidia drivers (257.whatever)
I discovered an issue, of sorts, when exporting directly from Premiere CS5, versus using the "Queue" option to send to AME. I was exporting from an NTSC DV Standard sequence to a 320x240 H.264, in which I had enable cropping and trimmed a bit off the sides and top and bottom of the source; the Output tab was summarily set to "Scale to Fit". With hardware MPE enabled in the Project Settings, the export would be the proper final dimensions (320x240), but any area that was cropped off was instead padded with black. The actual video content was then squeezed and malformed into the area not occupied by the black bars.
I found that, if I disabled hardware MPE or sent the export through AME by use of the Queue button (instead of Export), then the export was performed properly--the video was cropped correctly and then the video stretched to the borders of the exported video, maintaining the desired aspect ratio.
As I mentioned at the outset, I'm breaking a couple rules and perhaps tempting fate with others, but before I go about rolling back my drivers and the like, has anyone noticed a similar issue?
ADDENDUM: By the way, the export doesn't need to come from a sequence. If I load up a source clip into the Source Monitor, and export from there using the process outlined above, I get the same issue. This would seem to indicate, to me, that this is due to some incompatibility with my card, its driver and hardware MPE...

Did he demo renders or exports?
About 11 minutes in, he [Dave] demos accelerated H.264 renders.
Harm Millaard wrote:
AFAIK MPE only works with renders, not with encoding.
Well, he did both, actually--but the quote above is a typo on my part. I meant to say "exports" or "encodes." The last couple minutes of the aforementioned demo video are dedicated to exporting a sequence directly from Premiere, and having the benefit of hardware MPE. That's where I'm getting the issue I've outlined above; with hardware MPE enabled, and using the "Export" versus AME "Queue" button/function, I get the strange black outline. With software MPE or through AME, all is well.

Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be adjusted.
I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).
