Wow, the difference is clear. The activation of vdpau has brought me a lot, additionally deactivating Vsync has improved my result significantly. Thanks Andrew for this great hint. Sam On 17.05.19 22:29, Phyllis Smith wrote: *On Wed, May 15, 2019 at 4:35 PM Andrew Randrianasulu

I wouldn't have believed it But you are absolutely right! Disable "Sync to VBlank" (option for OpenGL) in NVIDIA X Server Settings... has solved the problem! In my tests using 4 mixers, whether the sources are in DNxHD, HDV or mgeg proxies, all now have an image rate close to 29.97

Pierre: It sounds like from what IgorB is saying, there is nothing wrong with your Graphics board and I found at least one place on the internet that indicated it has vdpau capabiities. I simply can not understand why you still are getting only about 12 frames/sec using OpenGL and why the mpeg

Hi IgorBeg, Until recently I also had the same feeling as you that my little video card was powerful enough for linux editing. In any case, few Linux software seems to really take advantage of the real potential power of really powerful external video cards. I don't use Blender, it doesn't

Pierre, your video card is good, for me. It has 640 CUDA CORES. Unfortuantely only ffmpeg-nvenc use cuda core and not for all codec, seems to me. If you use Blender (http://www.blender.org/) and enable ComputeDevice=YourGTX you can see that cuda cores save a lot of your time to render a

Yes, I am also inclined to believe that my video card is the culprit... for the lack of frame rate. It would not be able, through Open-GL, to decode simultaneously the 5 streams (composer + 4 mixers). I've never played any games on my computers either... but "gamer" cards are much cheaper

This time I completed my tests by adding Proxies to the HDV and AVC H264.mp4 test projects I did yesterday. Still in the context of use with 4 mixers. These are Proxys in mpeg with the same characteristics as those I had tested with DNxHD media. The results of these tests of the mpeg
