Hello.
I have an Intel ARC A380 GPU and Window 11 – all updates installed.
I did a test using the clip below and MPC-HC vs VLC.
Clip: Samsung_SUHD_Journey_of_Color-50Mbps (HEVC 10bit 4K@60fps)
GPU: Intel ARC A380 – Drivers v5590 (10/6/24)
1) MPC-HC v2.3.4 (Using internal LAV filters v0.79.2.18)
SW decoding
Renderers
EVR 3D usage 45% VideoProcessing 20%
EVR-CP 3D usage 57% VideoProcessing 40%
MPC VR 3D usage 15% VideoProcessing 26%
MPC VR (no D3D11/DXVA processing) 3D usage 52% VideoProcessing 0%
DXVA2 native decoding
Renderers
EVR 3D usage 8% VideoProcessing 33%
EVR-CP 3D usage 11% VideoProcessing 33%
MPC VR (no D3D11/DXVA processing) 3D usage 70% VideoProcessing 0%
2) VLC v3.0.21
3D usage 5% VideoProcessing 0%
All usage values reported by Task Manager.
So, it is very obvious that MPC-HC (and also MPC-BE) use Intel’s video HW in a non-efficient way, meaning that both 3D usage and VideoProcessing usage are very high compared to 0% VideoProcessing and 5% 3D usage reported by Task Manager for VLC.
My questions:
How VLC is accessing Intel’s video HW in order to achieve hardware acceleration with 0% VideoProcessing and extremely low 3D usage at the same time ?
Do you use proprietary libraries from Intel or other custom/ specific renderers/ decoders ?
What is your “secret sauce” ?
TY
