[ANSWERED] Intel Graphics HD 3000, VLC & hardware acceleration issue.

I have a laptop with Core i3-2350M + HD 3000.

When I enable hardware acceleration for video playback I have 85~100% cpu usage on Core-0 and a frame rate of about 0.3~3 frames/s (depends form the video resolution).

Any ideas?

Vlc, Tools > Preferences > Inputs & Codes > Use GPU accelerated decoding.

vlc -v xxxx.mp4 (xxxx.mp4 an h.264 file):

Re: [ANSWERED] Intel Graphics HD 3000, VLC & hardware acceleration issue.

Haven't got vaapi working with vlc myself.  The problem seems to be with the ffmpeg plugin.  I have discovered several workarounds to eliminate video tearing in vlc (if that is your issue) depending upon the desktop manager that I use.  I use compiz for XFCE and KDE, and add an environment variable for Gnome.

Re: [ANSWERED] Intel Graphics HD 3000, VLC & hardware acceleration issue.

My video tearing hasn't to do with desktop managers. I start vlc on a "plain X" session and it is still there.

As for my card, I got my answer.

How is that not about desktop managers? . Actually, it's about window managers. Sandy Bridge can only get tear-free video through pageflipping. To get that, you need an opengl compositor, like Compiz.

I find it interesting though that VLC doesn't support vaapi with Sandy Bridge. VLC is supposed to be (or at least I saw it as) the flagship vaapi player. I guess part of the problem is that VLC copies frames back into system memory, while other players display them directly, without any copying.

Re: [ANSWERED] Intel Graphics HD 3000, VLC & hardware acceleration issue.

Sorry, had my terminology a little off (too lazy to verify at the time).  There's Desktop Environments (Gnome, KDE, XFCE and the like) and Window Managers (metacity, kwin, compiz, mutter and the like).  I should have said Desktop Enviroment instead of Desktop Manager.
