I have been using a screen recorder to record gameplay videos. But recently, I encountered this weird problem that other will not encounter. Details below:
So it's about codec, but has something to do with the OpenCL function. I had been using a software to capture my computer screen and have been using the x264 codec(CPU software Encode), and it uses A HELL LOT of CPU, so I am trying to find solutions. I tried enabling this function called "OpenCL", and when I enable it, the screen recorder will just freeze for a while and start to record.
Now here is the ODD thing. When it says it is recording and the timer also started, I see NO CHANGE in CPU usage as compared to before recording, which should be impossible as I am NOT using Quick Sync Codec. Also, after I pressed "stop", it will not stop until I use Force Stop. And, NO VIDEO WAS ACTUALLY RECORDED! Not even a file been created! The same thing will not happen if I disable the "OpenCL" function, and of course the CPU usage went up again.
SO......could someone please explain why the "OpenCL" won't work? Is the mobile HD 530 just not compatible with codec hardware acceleration(or was it?)?
Thanks so much again!
