+===== Hardware Decoding: =====
-Mezzmo supports hardware acceleration when decoding your video files and encoding your video files.  This can produce much faster transcoding speeds and also greatly reduces the load on your computer's CPU.  Hardware acceleration is recommended to be used.

     * Your Nvidia graphics card must have NVENC features.  To check which Nvidia graphics cards have NVENC technology, first go to this [[https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix|link]] to locate your graphics card.  Take note of the code name on this web page for your graphics card.  Next, go to this [[https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix|link]] to see if the code name for your card is listed in the 'NVENC Support Matrix' section.
     * If you have an Nvidia graphics card and you think it does have NVENC technology, but it is listed as "(Not Supported)", then try updating your Nvidia graphics drivers to the latest version.
-===== Checking if your Intel CPU supports Intel Quick Sync Video =====
-  - Run Windows Explorer and right-click on Computer and click Properties.
-  - On the System window, make a note of your Processor type & model.
-  - In your web browser, go to http://ark.intel.com/ and search for your CPU model (e.g. i7-4790K).
-  - View the specifications page for the CPU and you should find a **Intel® Quick Sync Video** section and it should state **Yes**.
-**Note:** If the **Use Intel Quick Sync for faster transcoding** button is disabled, then the possible reasons are:
-  * Your CPU does not have Quick Sync features.  You can check your CPU model's features at Intel's ARK eb site - http://ark.intel.com/
-  * Mezzmo could not locate Intel's Quick Sync DLLs on your computer.  Mezzmo needs these DLLs to communicate with your CPU to use Intel's Quick Sync features.  You can download the Quick Sync DLLs by installing the Intel Media SDK.  It is a free download from https://software.intel.com/en-us/media-sdk/download.
