Intel Media Decoder SDK
The greatest feature of MediaCoder is the ability to encode video using QuickSync. However, I find it odd that the corresponding decoder component of the Intel Media SDK has not been implemented which would further decrease CPU loads.

Re: Intel Media Decoder SDK
Thanks for sharing this information!
When things work together, things work.
Re: Intel Media Decoder SDK
This doesn't work on my i5-3317 unfortunately,
only encoding is running on Intel Quicksync,
decoding always sticks to FFMPEG.
I also tried to delete FFMPEG.exe, but then the transcoding fails completely.
Which version are you using? x86 or x64?
Any help would be really appreciated.
I tried MediaEspresso, this works with decoding and encoding using Quicksync, however MediaEspresso supports no DTS decoding
Kind regards,
Rüdiger

Re: Intel Media Decoder SDK
Thanks for the instructions.
Unfortunately, it is not working for me here.
However, Media Espresso is working with Quicksync Decoding AND Encoding.
Which OS are you running? x86 or X64?
And MediaCoder and FFDShow?
Also both x64?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Intel Media Decoder SDK
Not working for me as well. It increased the CPU utilization, around 90% from 60%. For me Badaboom and Arcsoft have the lowest CPU utilization from all Quicksync encoders and they are also the fastest.
Re: Intel Media Decoder SDK
Could something like this Intel QuickSync Decoder (under the BSD license and described here) be folded into MediaCoder to offload decoding work to the iGPU as well?
Re: Intel Media Decoder SDK
The easy way to use it with MediaCoder, is installing this special version of ffdshow and setting video source to avisynth in mediacoder.

Re: Intel Media Decoder SDK
QuickSync decoding using LAV filters and MediaPlayer HC. It even allows you to select between CPU/DXVA/CUDA/QuickSync. 1080p decoding without breaking a sweat on a Celeron B815 and DXVA. On CPUs with quicksync is even more spectacular, I tried on i3 2330 and i7 2630, low battery drain, almost no heat (CPU stays at 42C).
