Need video card to play .mp4 videos in Hyperspin

I have been configuring Hyperspin on a new machine I recently built and have now found out that my Intel Core i3-4130 Haswell Dual-Core 3.4GHz LGA 1150 54W Processor with Intel HD Graphics 4400 won't play .mp4 videos in Hyperspin due to the Intel 4400 so now I need to purchase a video card to have videos in Hyperspin. Will this card be sufficient for Hypersping and MAME? I don't won't to purchase it to fix one issue and end up causing other issues?

MSI N650-MD1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Yep, tried all the methods I could find for disabling hardware acceleration.

The youtube method did not work since they use HTML5 now instead of flash.

I tried selecting 'Use software rendering instead of GPU rendring' in IE

I tried going into the advanced display properties in Windows 8 and the Troubleshooting tab where you would disable it has been replaced by the Intel control panel which does not give an option to disable any kind of acceleration.

Any other ideas or comments on the video card?

I'm having the same problem here. I have disabled hardware acceleration (just go to the Adobe Flash homepage, you'll find a Flash object there), but it didn't allow Hyperspin to work properly.

I can't really believe this can be such an issue. Neither .flv nor .mp4 files work for me in Hyperspin.

How can that be?

If there absolutely is no other option, I'll have to get a dedicated video card. Any moderately priced suggestion? HLSL in MAME is a must! Apart from that, I am mostly interested in the emulation of older consoles (Sega, Nintendo NES, SNES, etc.).

Edit:

I disabled flash hardware acceleration in IE (right click a flash video and go to Settings, then uncheck the box for hardware acceleration).

It did not work when I applied the same setting with Chrome before by the way!

However, everything seems to run fine now!

I am able to get flash videos to work, but I am unable to get the MP4 preview/snap videos to play.  I have a small media PC that uses a j1900 celeron processor with on chip GPU without hardware acceleration.  I have installed VLC and upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8.1 Pro.  VLC is installed and I can play MP4 files, but the snap videos are garbled.  I appreciate any help!  Thank you
