Enable Intel hardware acceleration

  • Accelerates video processing by up to 400% when working with 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.
 

Enable NVENC hardware acceleration

  • With this option enabled, your NVIDIA graphics card will be used for processing H.264 and MPEG-2 videos and they will be saved up to 50% faster.
  • Because video processing is carried out by the graphics card, your CPU is free for other tasks, ensuring smoother performance in other programs.
  • This option is only available if your computer is equipped with an NVIDIA graphics card that supports this technology.
