Topic: [SOLVED] MPC-HC playback crash with GPU acceleration (Radeon HD5650)
Hi first time poster here, I've been delving into getting frame interpolation to work with the MVtools and avisynth settings back in the day, SVP is a godsent for integrating them into something much more manageable and elegant! Cheers.
The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to enable OpenCL GPU acceleration on my laptop without the MPC-HC immediately crashing with video playback.
Here are some initial troubleshooting to rule things out:
- it's not a memory problem, I used the 4GB mem patch on MPC-HC, I tried tiny 640x480 video clips, the crash is consistent.
- it's not due to overclocking, I use MSI Afterburner for overclocking, but even with it closed and the GPU at default clocks, the crash still occurs.
- my specs should be more than good enough and my GPU should be compatible with SVP; the CPU is an i5-460M dual core, the GPU is an ATI Radeon 5650.
- my ATI GPU driver is up-to-date (12.8)
- I disabled all video playback enhancement settings in the AMD Catalyst Control Center, still crashes.
- I tried different process threads, from 2 threads all the way to max, and it doesn't affect the crash.
- the crash also occurs when I try to run SVPmark 3, with GPU acceleration enabled in the run settings, so maybe (?) it's not related to MPC-HC?
Here's a launch log where I open SVP manager, turn on GPU acceleration, try to play a video, get MPC-HC to crash immediately and closed off.
