CS5 on a laptop. Would this work?

[Bob Kiger] “The Mercury engine that drives CS5 is optimized for the CUDA cards you listed but your assertion that in CS5 you must have one of the listed cards is not correct. You can run many high powered cards with CS5 CUDA and other types, but to get optimal performance across the cores and balanced memory usage the cards that have been qualified THUSFAR have been as you said.

GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
Quadro FX 3800 (Windows)
Quadro FX 4800 (Windows and Mac OS)
Quadro FX 5800 (Windows)
Quadro CX”
The following is a list of cards including the Fermi other than the quadro that can work with MPE in CS5, one other requirement is you need more than 768MB memory on board, information on how to enable these cards is available on the net.
GeForce GT 240
GeForce GTS 240
GeForce GTX 260
GeForce GTX 275
GeForce GTX 295
GeForce GTX 470
GeForce GTX 480

Hi Brian–

There has never been a dispute that other high powered video cards besides those cited by Adobe and Nvidia will work. The question is whether they were optimized by Adobe engineers for the CS5 engine. So are you saying that you have authoritative information that:

GeForce GT 240
GeForce GTS 240
GeForce GTX 260
GeForce GTX 275
GeForce GTX 295
GeForce GTX 470
GeForce GTX 480

cards have been certified as optimized for the Mercury engine? If so this is great news. Please cite your sources?

Mahaloha,

[Bob Kiger] “The question is whether they were optimized by Adobe engineers for the CS5 engine.”
The question is not “optimized” but possibly allowed to be used, like I said the information is available on the net, easily found by searching

Kindly show an authoritative reference for your assertion that

“The following is a list of cards including the Fermi other than the quadro that can work with MPE in CS5, one other requirement is you need more than 768MB memory on board, information on how to enable these cards is available on the net.
GeForce GT 240
GeForce GTS 240
GeForce GTX 260
GeForce GTX 275
GeForce GTX 295
GeForce GTX 470
GeForce GTX 480”

I contend that these cards are not certified by Adobe/Nvidia for optimmal use with the CS5 Mercury Engine.

THE NVidia 5000M card for notebooks just blasted through the issues we have agonized over for so long. We posted a playful review at:

https://vidiots.us/index.php/2010/07/dog-day-at-siggraph/

It seems that Youtube is now embedding full HD when it comes in and the movies are so big that they are “over the edge”.

One other note is that we did “Audio Swap” and let Youtube pick the music for the doggy journalist time lapse movie at the end. Hot!

Can someone please check the source code on the embeds and see if we can adjust the video so you can see the entire movie on an average computer?

I am not a coder it’s plain to see. Just after I wrote the last post I contacted our lead programmer in Florence, Italy and he chatted me on how to adjust the embed resolution at Youtube.

[4:31:02 PM] Ernest: when you hit “the embed” button in youtube
[4:31:20 PM] Ernest: look lower down the page, you will see some colored rectangles
[4:31:49 PM] Ernest: right underneath these recs, you will notice that a resolution box is selected by default
[4:32:23 PM] Ernest: before copying the code, make sure you choose a lower res than the 1280×745 you have chosen previously
[4:32:46 PM] Ernest: best size for not escaping the vidiots layout would be 640×385
[4:33:02 PM] Ernest: at that time, the box should become blue instead of grey
[4:33:12 PM] Ernest: then you can copy the updated code

So he put me onto the fix. In the end I had to do a Custom size which is in box available to keep the movie from running into our link copy on the right hand side.

Thanks, to all for your patience. Problem solved so it is a bit easier to read the article.

Can the nVidia 5000M card be used on the Apple Macbook Pro to run the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine on Premiere CS5? Or any other possible way to configure the Macbook Pro for full Mercury playback?
