  • MP4 Encoding problems with new graphics card nvidia geforce 210

    Posted by Eric Adler on February 7, 2013 at 5:05 pm

    I recently installed a new graphics card on my pc – nvidia geforce 210, along with upgrading to 8mb of ram.

    I can encode a video in mp4 but I get black flickering in the playback, I see that same black flickering when I cue forward and back in the video preview before even rendering.

    My system
    Dell Studio XPS 435MT 8mb DDR3 ram
    nvidia geforce 210

    Using Vegas Video 12.0
    No previous issues with my ati radeon 4850 and only 4mb ram

    I have seen this problem in Windows Media Player before where turning off ‘DirectX Video Acceleration’ has resolved the flickering. But since you are seeing this in Vegas it might be a driver issue.

    Try updating your video driver directly from the Nvidia website.

    [eric adler] “I recently installed a new graphics card on my pc – nvidia geforce 210, along with upgrading to 8mb of ram.”

    Hopefully you didn’t buy that card to use with GPU acceleration because it’s below the required spec of “GeForce GT 2xx Series or higher with driver 285.62 or later.“. I assume that Vegas is not using it for GPU acceleration but check under Options | Preferences | Video and make sure the GPU is set to None and see if it has any effect.

    Thanks John that resolved it! In 30 minutes I was going to FRYs to purchase another card. No I didn’t buy the card for GPU acceleration, my old car (radeon 4850) didn’t respond well to my new ram so I cannibalized this gf210 from an older pc that had a fried motherboard. oh the joys of computers..
