NVIDIA Quadro FX3800 Hardware Acceleration ?

Missteach May 11, 2010 3:27 PM

Hello,

Using Windows XP, I could adjust the hardware acceleration setting to 'None' from 'Full' whilst I executed screen recording for lower file sizes.

Now, using Windows 7 with an NVIDIA Quadrom FX3800 graphics card, how do I adjust this to achieve the same result?

Thanks

AFAIK you can't.

Hi,

Cheers for the quick response. I'll go over to Camtasia's forums to see if they can think of a solution to the considerably larger file sizes that occur as a result of not being able to reduce the acceleration.

Thanks

Acceleration and file size are about as related as a Formula 1 car and the growth of pot plants.

Sorry, I don't understand your response.

In XP Pro, a screen recording with Hardware Acceleration set at 'FULL' results in a file size 3 times (approx) the size of a screen recording set at 'NONE'.

I was looking for a similar reduced setting to use with my graphics card that results in a lower file size. The data rate reduces when set at 'NONE' resulting in a lower file size - perhaps it's related.
