Re: Hardware Accelerated Video Rendering
Hi nhlfan44,

Welcome to the Sweet Home forum.

I did mention something similar except, now I could be wrong here, are you basing your graphics card acceleration idea on a GPU rendered 3D display, as in how a game would render and (plus with modern Nvidia cards) also handle physics when producing a 3D scene, compared to complex resolution independent CPU calculated ray tracing?

If so the latter is still beyond today's most powerful graphics cards, real time 3D GPU scenes use clever methods of producing ray traced like effects without actually fully ray tracing the scene. Your GPU acceleration idea would come into play in producing the bottom right (or separate window, depending on users preferences) 3D preview render pane.

How is your video render going and did trying the -Xmx1024m help on your computer?
