Hi

I think you have mis-understood what OpenCL is - it is a prgramming language not a codec.

The spec for MX says

- For accelerated AVCHD output: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8000 Series and better (CUDA™) or AMD® Radeon™ 5000 Series and better (OpenCL™) or integrated graphics with Intel® Quick Sync Video

In other words the graphics card must be capable of supporting OpenCL (or CUDA) 

If your card supports OpenCL (AMD Radeon chipset based) or is a CUDA card (NVidia chipset based) and you have checked the option in MEP to use the GPU on the graphics card for rendering then you should see an increase in rendering speed.

Thanks, John,

I am not sure how to do what you suggest. Here is the message box I get:

"NOTE: This option is recommended only for systems with NVIDIA chipsets. ... "

When I ignore the warning, I get much slower rendering.

The OpenCL option does not present itself as shown on page 256 of the full manual in pdf.

Hi

The OpenCL, CUDA option appears like this on my computer

 

Note the options are greyed ie not available - my ATI card does not support OpenCL. 

If your OpenCL is greyed out then I think the integrated graphics chip has this support disabled.

Selecting CUDA with a non NVidia graphics chipset may well slow your machine down as it cannot find the chipset and will fall back to using the processor.

Thanks,

My computer looks just like yours except the Info box says:

   OpenCL: GPU BeaverCreek 5CU 600MHz

 

My system has AMD A8 3850 with integrated Radeon HD 6550D. Motherboard is MSI A75MA-G55 with AMD A75 chipset. I was hoping/expecting the OpenCL box would not be grayed out with my system.
