xtremegamer Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Small command line tool that checks the capabilities of your graphics hardware & OS to decode h264 videos on your GPU. Apple doesn't seems to allow all GPU's to use the System Framework, despite the fact that they have the hardware capabilities (like Geforce 8800 or Fermi cards). The tool have the same error codes like other VDA Software (XBMC) but its easier to test. On Lion with current Fermi drivers i get an error by the decoder. You can try it and post your software & hardware combination. requires Mac OS X 10.6.3 SourceCode on GitHub Feel free to contribute on Github Download precompiled binary (Intel 32/64-Bit):VDADecoderChecker.zip [Update: 09.07.2011 now Intel 32/64bit] [Update: 28.08.2011 Fixed a segmentation fault bug on Lion.

Boombeng Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Fail with HD4850 under Lion DP4 An error was returned by the decoder layer. This may happen for example because of bitstream/data errors during a decode operation. This error may also be returned from VDADecoderCreate when hardware decoder resources are available on the system but currently in use by another process.

mitch_de Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I think that the Framework (Apple) only work with an fixed set of GPUs. At least the gpu must have some HW features for video playback, which not all (even new) gpus have, but for example 9400M has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
