Intel HD Graphics

Hi All

Looking at a new Hyperspin machine and I wondered if Intel HD GFX is still an issue, I know it was a while back but we now have the 4400 and 4600 chipsets so are these any good?

Thanks

I believe there is a topic about it that give a solution bij disabling acceleration setting through firefox.

Here Is The Fix!<br />

<br />

Okay, I had the same problem as everyone else on this thread, and was almost ready to buy a new video card as my work around when I finally figured it out (at least it worked for me).<br />

<br />

Before I give the solution that I found, you need to realize that Hyperspin uses your internet browser to display the videos. That is why people have suggested turning off the hardware acceleration in your browser to fix the problem. But, from reading this thread, that has only solved a few people's issues. Why not all of them, I asked myself? Well, this is the answer that I found. The hardware acceleration fix only works if your default browser is set to Internet Explorer! Not Google Chrome, and maybe not some of the other ones, but definitely not Chrome.<br />

<br />

So here are the steps to the fix:<br />

<br />

1. Make sure that Internet Explorer is the Default internet browser for your system. This can be found in a few different locations, depending on which IE version you are running, so I will leave it up to you to figure this step out.<br />

<br />

2. Open Internet Explorer and go to 'Setting' then 'Internet Options' <br />

<br />

3. Choose the 'Advanced' tab, and under the 'Accelerated Graphics' title, make sure that 'Use software rendering instead of GPU' is checked. You are halfway done at this point.<br />

<br />

4. Next, visit 'http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html' and go down the page to 'Step 5'. There should be a Flash video playing of a tree. <br />

<br />

5. Right-click on the video and select 'Settings'. Under the 'Display' tab, make sure that 'Enable hardware acceleration' is not clicked.<br />

<br />

6. Close your browser and open Hyperspin. The videos and audio should play normally now.<br/>

For me, disabling hardware acceleration didn't work. As apparently only MP4 videos have problems, I converted the MP4s to FLVs for use on my laptop, which has such a chip set, with the EmuMovies batch converter. That did the trick.

Everything works fine on my workstation, I blame the Intel Chipset Driver, even though VLC plays the MP4s on my laptop just fine.
