Intel® Hardware acceleration


If you have one of the latest Intel processors, you can use the built-in graphics chip to accelerate conversion of H.264 and MPEG-2 video.
 

Intel hardware acceleration

  • Accelerates video processing by up to 400% when converting H.264 and MPEG-2 video codecs.
  • This option is only available if your computer is equipped with an Intel processor that supports the Intel HD Graphics technology.
  • When choosing an output format, look for presets marked with the Intel® HD GRAPHICS badge.
     

Compatible processors

Intel hardware acceleration is available on the Intel® Core™ i3, i5, and i7 processor series. Please consult the Intel support center for a full list of processors that support integrated graphics.
 

How to use Intel acceleration

You can enjoy Intel acceleration when converting videos to H.264 and MPEG-2 codecs. When selecting an output format, choose formats and presets marked with the Intel® HD GRAPHICS badge. Conversion to these output formats will be accelerated.

Troubleshooting:

Can't enable Intel hardware acceleration
If the Intel hardware acceleration option in Movavi Video Converter preferences is unavailable:
  • Check that your processor is compatible with Intel hardware acceleration. To do that, open the Control Panel, go to System and Maintenance, and choose System. Find the processor information and make sure that you have an i3, i5, or i7 Intel processor.
  • Update the Intel processor drivers. You can find the newest version on Intel's official website here. We recommend only downloading drivers and other software from trusted sources.
  • For the graphics acceleration to work correctly, there needs to be a monitor connected to the graphics card port. Connect the monitor, make sure it is functioning correctly, then try enabling Intel® hardware acceleration again.
 
Problems while converting using Intel® hardware acceleration
If the video conversion process is taking longer than expected, or there are defects in the output video file:
  • Try updating the processor drivers. You can find the newest version on Intel's official website here.
  • Try disabling Intel acceleration in the preferences.
