Give us the option to choose ROHQ hardware acceleration method (e.g., QuickSync)

Since I can't access LAV settings in ROHQ, I don't know what "Hardware accelerate video decoding" does. I assume it's using DXVA2 Copy-back, but I have QuickSync available and want to use it in LAV as I do with other players.

It would be nice to be able to do this simple thing without installing LAV in Custom. Now that we can access madVR settings in ROHQ, isn't it time to allow changes to some basic LAV functionality?

JimH:
If you want custom settings, you will need to use the custom option.

The reason is that our current system works reliably, is easy to support, and advanced users can still do anything they want.

Fair enough, although the link to madVR settings seems to break that model. Is it asking too much to have a similar link (with similar warning) for LAV settings?

RD James:
If you have enough knowledge that you're wanting to change this, it's easier to just install LAV Filters on the system and set it up as a custom mode.
That also lets you easily toggle between ROHQ (internal LAV decoder) and your custom mode. (exernal decoder)

The "Hardware accelerate video decoding" option picks the best method for the hardware that you're using.
For NVIDIA that is DXVA2 Copy-Back. I forget what that is for AMD/Intel.

jkauff:
I do exactly that, set it up as custom. I just don't understand why I'm forced to use another copy of LAV when it's right there in the MC22 Plugins folder.

Why are the madVR settings accessible from the MC22 Options menu, but not LAV? madVR is way more complex for the average user to configure than LAV. The inconsistency bothers me.

I've been paid to design easy-to-use user interfaces for 25 years, and if it had been my call I would have put the madVR settings link in the Custom dialog. But since it's on the Video menu, why not LAV as well? In any case, they should both be in the same place.
