It's a nVidia card thing, were it helps improve performance and latency issues relating to the card when using videos, the link will give you more details, if you have this card then I recommand you use it in your system...

Good Luck,

Joey...
 
cheers joey.so much crap for me lol.
does this work with the fx1600 m card.
loving all the responses and guides guys cheers
 
If your card has the "PowerMiser" feature, then yes this will help....
 
Hey, I dug up the specs on your card. I am not very familiar with Quardro cards, as they are typically used for desktop applications like CAD.
It *looks* like the card is barely scratching some of the the minimum specs (like using GDDR3), and that could definitely be an issue if you are trying to run anything in HD.
Just in case you ever need them, here are the specs for your card:

Codename: NB8P-GLM
Pipelines: 32 - unified
Core Speed * 625 MHz
Shader Speed * 1250 MHz
Memory Speed * 800 MHz
Memory Bus Width: 128 Bit
Memory Type: GDDR3
Max. Amount of Memory: 256 MB
Shared Memory: no
DirectX: DirectX 10, Shader 4.0
Current Consumption: 50 Watt
Transistors: 289 Million
technology: 80 nm

Features
PureVideo, video scaling, LCDs with 1920x1200 pixel, PCI-Express, connection for ext. graphic card

Information
CG shading language, 32 bit floating point precision, 12 bit subpixel precision, 128 bit precision of the graphic pipeline, vertex and pixelshader programmability, PCI-E inferface, FSAA with turned grid, nView multidisplay support, high-precision dynamic-range (HPDR) technology, hardware 3D clipping, full screen antialiasing



Have you tried running any really standard videos just to make sure you aren't trying to push the card too hard?
Also yes, codecs can be a huge issue.
I use the K-Lite codec pack, here: http://www.codecguide.com/download_mega.htm
and the Combined Community Codecs Pack (CCCP), here: http://www.cccp-project.net/

For most things you should be able to get by with the K-Lite pack. And one of the reasons codecs are an issue is that because when someone encodes a video, they have to encode it using one of several formats, and just ONE thing can change what codec you would need from one MP4 (or avi, mpg, etc) to another. So if you are going to be working with videos, it is just a smart thing to have as many as you can, to be able to get just about any video you want in any format and still be able to play it with no issues.
 
cheers jynxx mate.forgot i hadnt had klite on this laptop as i have on main gig laptop.
going to try all the suggestions above.
as usual appriciate all input from you guys here
 
jynxx just reread you post on my card stats and realised that i didnt have direct x 10 i had direct x 9.
i take it i need to download 10 and do the direct x tests.
also downloaded keylite pack and nvu powermizer so im hoping now

just playing videos from hd on laptop only and noticed when i uncheck use hardware video plays ok.not sure what this means im taking it thats its the video card starting to get annoyed as ive done everthing as ststed in above answers
 
anyone know why when i use hardware it freezes my videos.
 
 
i have done this staff but i will make sure tomorrow and download drivers from the dell website (as advised from nvidia site forums) and redo registry file as you have stated cheers
 
its allways the Drivers "STAFFY"....and or the codecs (if Video problems)...but no more problems...and I'm running 2 Nvidea GeForce Go 7900 GS 256mb x2= 512mb (I know...old skool to some but still SLI power!) on my Alienware m9700.Running smooth!
 
thanks tracker im going to upgrade drivers later again.also ive downloaded codec packs.is there something i need to do with codecs or just install them on laptop.
never had to do anything with main dell lappy its just this nvida card doing them damage
 
ok did all the above again today redownloaded drivers/changes registry / powerbooster//turned off powermizer in nvidia control panel
and with nothing connected video seemed to be working fine mixing vids video effects transitions ect with hardware selected.
more testing tomorrow hopefully with projector if back is ok
 
thats with the latest Nvidea drivers,correct? did it have like a new control panel for setups on the GPU's?....made allthe difference for me.what I had in the Alienware for drivers were prehistoric..imao..did'nt think I could bring them up to date..as far as codecs well...if you Recordings at the VDJ output are sluggish then you need Better codecs and the DivX pack are it...good luck!
 
yes tracker brand new drivers with new screen opening on install with advance to turn powermizer off ect.
so as long as i have codecs on laptop downloaded vdj will use them if needed yes.
also turning on game boostre (3 new) before opening up vdj.
this laptop video card seems to use quiet a bit of cpu compared to my ati card on main machine.
 
Thats weird... your video card has a decent GPU.
Oh wait, you have "Hardware Acceleration" off! Thats why... its not using your GPU, its using your CPU to process the video. It sucks that you can't use Hardware Acceleration.
I wonder why you can't?

I am glad you got it working, even if it does hog the CPU lol



Oh and just a quick note... when you have SLI or CrossfireX, it still only uses the RAM from one card. It doubles the GPU's, but not the RAM. So if you have 2x 512mb, you are still only using 512mb, not 1024mb.
 
jynxx i now have hardware working and seems fine but havent tested it with projector yet.i will do soon
 
 
lol tracker every little helps promote away.
so do i need to do anything with codecs or just install on laptop.do i need to add them to the vdj codec section and if so is it just move from and to vdj codecs folder.
by the way videos looking nice and clear on video
 
Nice to hear you're sorted out djstaffy...

Good Luck,

Joey...
 
im hopin joey mate.still have to hook it up again.havent got all my gear at home and cant get it with my back but be hooking up projector monday hopefully.
just a note for people with nvidia cards update your drivers from make of laptop makers ie...dell/driver download as said in nvidia forums nvidia site drivers might not work as dell set up for drivers is different
