    hardware rendering

    im looking to do a bit off video editing, most of the source video clips are in 1080i and with my curent cpu (<----check left) cpu editing is not really the best option.

    how can i set it to render using my video card?

    also is it possible to use the hardware play back to? / how do i set that up? atm im using vlc for everything and its purely cpu based from what i can see

    Re: hardware rendering

    I'm not certain there are many applications out there that use ATI hardware to encode video. I think there is one or two that uses NVIDIA hardware, but then that's not much use to you (Badaboom for one).

    EDIT: I take that back. Looks like PowerDirector 8 can utilise ATI Stream tech:

    I'm pretty sure VLC uses hardware acceleration for playback by default. Tools>Preferences>Video and check Accelerated Video Output (Overlay) is checked.
