How do I set the h.264 codec for Sage playback?

[Ralphjb]

I have searched for this but just can not find the answer.

I have cyberlink and am able to play back the h.264 recorded files just fine. But within Sage, I can not. I was able too before. But I recently had a significant crash and ended up reloading everything. I used the latest nvidea drivers (have an 8600GT card) as well as the latest cyberlink software.

Under Sage setup, there is a dropdown list of mpeg2 codecs to choose from, but no such list with mpeg4 (except the Directx and Sage). So here is my question:

How do I know what mpeg4 codec Sage is using and how can I change?


Thanks!

Thank you for that link. I finally got a chance to check that, and indeed the Cyberlink codec is selected.

Performance is terrible within Sage, however. I will do more searching. I did monitor the CPU and usage is extremely low, so I must be getting offloading to the GPU.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know there are a bunch a threads on this, but that is sort of the problem, get's confusing.

Thanks!
